Here I share the early steps that lead to me getting to know my Redeemer.

Just an observation understanding that causation and correlation are not the same.
I spent xmas in a cabin with my parents and siblings.
Everyone got the rhona....well almost everyone.
I got it. two boys and wife got it (confirmed with test). My step-dad got it.
We are all v@xed. My shots were in October and my stepdad just had the booster last month and he was so bad that he was taken into surgery and is currently in the urgent care wing of the Ball Memorial Hospital.
My unv@xed mother is five years older than my step-dad and only had the sniffles. She was over it in a day. My unv@xed sister - yep, she did NOT get it at all.
So....on a personal level....the record in our family for those with the jab is less than underwhelming.
#Jesus
In the New Covenant Jesus has purchased, we are introduced to the true reality of all things.
Through the Spirit of Christ we can draw from this reality so that we may know, in all of the areas that touch our lives—
in our work, ministry, family, society, culture, government, institutions, art, play, research, religion—
the goodness and provision of an all-sufficing, want-erasing, fear-eradicating, peace-loving Shepherd.
Such a precious gift is not for sale, nor is it a chip with which to bargain in our society.
-Dallas Willard
I didn't believe it until I sat down with this pastor on our podcast.
WOW!

12 Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me.
13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead,
14 I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:12-14
Listen to what's going on in Australia! Hailey was sent to 14 days of internment camp - protected by high fences and police. She never even tested positive. She was put there as a punishment for lying to the police that she had taken the test, even if she hadn't. She had been around a person who tested positive, and police was knocking on her door. She got scared and said that she had had the test.

I'm really NOT into Christmas...
BUT I downloaded the "Christmas in China" mp3 songs from BTJ and I'm enjoying it!
I don't understand anything except, "Yesu" and that's good enough for me.
The same goes for the other worship songs I have in other languages.
"Yesaya, Isa, Yeshua, Yeshu"
Makes me feel more connected to the greater Body of Christ while enjoying different musical styles.
HE is the ONE who unifies us!

Greetings
As many of you remember,we lost our van. A SPECIAL THANK YOU to all who helped during those difficult days!
Since then, we have learned that we can't buy our own vehicle until we get a license plate which is only possible when the gov. randomly draws our name from the millions who have also applied. It can take up to 5 years.SO...we need to rent a car for the time being.
THE MIRACLE:
We found a 7 PASSENGER CAR! The owner is a CHRISTIAN
Another AMAZING thing is that this car has a Beijing license plate which means we can drive to **JOSHUA'S HOSPITAL and Stuart's EMPLOYMENT** This is HUGE!
THE DILEMMA:
We need to rent for 1 year in order to secure the low price and not lose the car!
We need to raise $8000 before Dec.30th to keep it.
WE bring this need before God and our Brothers & Sisters because it is a critical need!
Here is the link if your able to help! Merry Christmas! May you all feel Jesus in a special way this year! paypal.me/WeaverFamilyChina
God Bless
@tanjaostman Cost-free faith no longer exists. In Europe, the USA, Canada and beyond, we have enjoyed a period of relative peace and tranquility for too many years. Certainly the Western church faced other problems ... but not the persecution. The Western church did not have to go into hiding to celebrate the Lord. At least until now. Of course for now we are not yet persecuted as in China but I think we must not wait for everything to start but we must prepare in advance. The signs are there and we should keep this in mind. I pray that all church and Christian denomination leaders will open their eyes and not bow to Caesar.
I hope I have translated my thoughts into English correctly and without errors.
