Zaccaria Family Update Dec. 2020

WIJ? = The King of Joy

 Esther, Justice, Shalom and I have been looking for what gifts God has given us this season as a family. We have been challenged by working at home, raising a couple Irish twins who have a lot of energy (thank God they are so cute), and engaging with our loved ones. We have a lot to be thankful for.

Zaccarias on Mission

Esther has been given her dream jobs and her dream life situation, without the chronic illness that is. She has a Young Living Essential Oil business where she gets to work with amazing people and share products and the God she loves. Esther has been dealing with chronic illnesses and could still use your prayers. She believes for healing but believes God may be teaching her something through it. 

Justice just turned 3 and is athletic, fun, nurturing, and busy building things. He is such a boy but we have been teaching him about feelings and he has been learning to identify them. He also has been very busy making up events of the day and possibly visualizing demonic activity, he calls robots. We've been trying to meet him in this playful developmental season and begin some spiritual training to rebuke the demonic (just in case he is seeing something). His family is so blessed by him and are learning to guide him along his journey.

Shalom just turned 2 and has surprised us by her aptitude for speaking and reading. Both our kiddos have really been blossoming in this regard but she has been especially enthusiastic about her books. We get some great moments with her as she always says to us after a nap, "I wanna hold you?!" She has been singing Twinkle Little Star, the ABC song, and The Blessing. It s so great as she belts out a little chorus of any of these but especially the Blessing "Lord Bless you and keep you..."

    

Early Morning Devotions

Creative in Training (Like her Mom)

Esther and I see the redemption of the living God in our lives, time and time again. We have been so blessed to do what we do and be able to be parents to Justice and Shalom. One of the coolest things to come out of 2020 lockdowns has been our focus on family and our collective devotional life. I am so blessed to have a wife and church that has encouraged me to family devotions.

One Week's Family Devo. Fin

For me, I've been connecting deeper to our local church, All Peoples Church SD. I've been engaged in our School of Transformation (back at school again!) and experiencing more personal spiritual closeness to God. I've been having God challenge me on trust issues and it has been so sweet to be a part of. I'm challenged by the joyful Servant in my perception and grasp of who God is. God's also continuing to work out emotional intelligence in my life, really key for my development as a Christian leader. It's humbling to be a stay at home dad, who has a powerhouse Wife and is called to serve her when she needs to go after God's calling. But, humbled is a great posture before God.

Devotional Thought From TRM CEO and President - Dec. 2020

 

Zaccaria Summer of Fun, God's Grace Found

 Like most of us, life has changed under the plethora of society and world shaking events. Whether the pandemic, racial injustice, climate crisis, political chaos, or societal humbling, or familial and personal pressures --- we each are under pressure that is calling us to a new sort of life. Though this is the backdrop for our little family too, we have been able to find a new normal which we would like to share a bit with you. For, we know after-all, that you care not only deeply for LGBTQ peoples but those seeking to lay down their lives for them.

The previous picture gallery is a bit of Esther and I's summer school snap shot. I want to leave those of you who got this far on this post with these last two things. One, we are really appreciative of all you guys and gals who befriended us, supported this Great Commission project, and really just gave your life for this. We are unbelievably blessed to partner with you. Second, I want to leave you with a devotional practice that is bringing me, Patrick, great life as I reflect on God knowing all the days of our lives. It comes from Psalm 139:17-19.

David says there, "Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came  to be. How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand--when I awake, I am still with you." David knew YHWH grasped all of his life and thought incessantly about him. His redeemed and anointed, though imperfect as we are, have the same opportunity. I encourage you to look for God's thoughtfulness every day you live. Look for confirmation that He knew this day was in mind for you. Look for the little and BIG communication God wants to give you that day so that you can say they same, "all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. How precious are your thoughts to me...they outnumber the sand on the sea". May your eyes see, your ears hear, your body sense God near and present to you.

Community Gardens

 Jesus used plant imagery and parables of gardening all the time. The people inherently understood implications for parables that He gave, especially because they were part of their every day experience. One of the most amazing things that the plant world has to offer is the opportunity for connectivity. A neighbor (or 4) may invite you into their community garden and you may be able to naturally share life and the good things God has to offer through the harvest He gives. Our journey to build bridges has become all about relationships with ordinary everyday people of Hillcrest, the garden gives opportunity to work together, to serve others, to give generously out of God's blessing. Here are some potential new connections in Hillcrest.

In the Parable of the Sower, the receptive soil bore a multiplicative harvest. May our little gardens bring harvests to cultivate friendship, the friendships planted in the soil of trust bring Kingdom opportunities to share the King, and may the Kingdom come 10 times, 40 times, and 100 times in new hearts yielding their throne rooms to Jesus, the Father, and the Spirit. Will you believe this with us?
