What's Been Happening?
This past quarter we continued to host monthly BootCamps. We were privileged to meet and work with some fantastic couples. We love having the opportunity to simply help couples recognize their great potential for a blessed future together. We also enjoy being TRANSPARENT and REAL with these couples. They leave our BootCamp knowing that marriage is a gift from God and we must protect and focus on this gift. We CAN enjoy a thriving and successful marriage today in this world we live in. However, this  type of marriage will take INTENTIONALITY to reap God's fullest benefits.

During these past few months, we have worked with some great couples one-on-one with the SYMBIS assessment. Each couple dug into their relationship and came out with a deeper understanding of their relationship. We are so proud of these couples from not shying away from the "challenging" areas of their relationships. They are facing these areas"head-on" and working hard to make their "challenges" new found "strengths."

We are diligently working on creating our curriculum for our singles and pray for the perfect timing to move in that arena. As we move into the last quarter of 2019, we are ready to invest in engaged couples to help them ANCHOR their future marriages. We are so thankful for those who have entrusted us with imparting into their relationships. We know God is pleased with couples taking a "pro-active" approach to their future together.  We covet your prayers for His guidance and wisdom as we continue the calling He has placed on us.
"Fall Back"
 
Most of the time, we do not want to “Fall Back” because it represents regression versus progression. Many of us have heard or have made the statement, “Don’t FALL BACK into old habits.” When we think of “Falling Back,” our minds mostly move in the negative direction.

However, what if we “Fall Back” into the strong, secure, and loving arms of Jesus? As we went into the theater of our minds and visualized “Falling Back” into the arms of Jesus, we felt a heaviness lifted from us. Imagining the minute, we felt His strong mighty arms supporting us, the safety and security that would flood through our bodies was certainly anything, but negative.

In life, there are times when we need to “back up” in order to move forward.  According to tires-easy.com,  if you get your truck stuck in the mud,
 
“…The first thing you should do is throw it into reverse…”

As Fall approaches this year, if your walk with Christ has become more routine or stagnant, then LET GO and “Fall Back” into the arms of Jesus. If you are struggling through trials and the battles are raging, “Fall Back” into the arms of Jesus. If life is going great, “Fall Back” into the arms of Jesus.

No matter where you are in life,
“Fall Back” into the arms of Jesus!
This Fall we want to encourage you to “Fall Back” in order to move forward in your journey of becoming the image of Christ.

John 16:33 says “I have told you all this so that you will have peace of heart and mind. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows; but cheer up, for I have overcome the world.”

Jesus left us His peace. When we are safe and secure in His arms, activating that peace in our lives is much easier.
May this last quarter of 2019 be one that starts out with a BIG FALL…”Fall Back” into the arms of Jesus. Follow that “Fall” with much THANKSGIVING and GRATITUDE and then CELEBRATE HIS BIRTH!

Fun Date Ideas

NOW is the time to start planning and possibly budgeting for some really GREAT Date Nights during this last quarter of the year!

Do you have a "furry" little one that is dear to your hearts? Why not send a picture to the paint shop and then go enjoy a Date Night while you "Paint Your Pet."

If you have never experienced Santa's Wonderland, we encourage you to go at least once in your lifetime. You DO NOT need children to enjoy this magical site. We love this place and it just keeps getting better and better!

The Christmas Train in Alvin, Texas is truly a fun experience. You will enjoy a quaint little train ride while viewing the REAL meaning of Christmas. This is a fun night for just a couple or bring your children, nieces, nephews, etc.

Have you heard about "Old Town Spring?" If not, you won't go wrong by visiting this quaint little town. They have lots of shops that can provide unique gifts for any time of the year. You can enjoy free entertainment and the Christmas decor is truly fantastic. And...you can try some wonderful FRIED OREOS, SNICKERS or TWINKIES (Doug's favorite :-)
