Meditate & Pray

Meditate God’s word (inhale). “Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams …

Developmental Milestones of Faith

Since we adopted our son, I look forward to any and every milestone as they often remind me of God’s kindness to our family.  Tears of gratitude marked events like the first birthday we were able to celebrate together, his baptism witnessed by our church who prayed for him long before they knew him, the first time he trusted me …

Desiring Their Greatest Joy

Hello GRC! Cedar and I have been parents for over 24 years, counting from the moment we saw those lines on the home-test.  The following months and years followed a similar pattern to most families:  figuring out “what to expect when you’re expecting”;  getting ready for sleepless nights;  delighting in holding a baby (OUR baby!) and then doing our best, …

After twenty years of taking different roles in fintech, I feel like I finally hit a stride in my career: I found work I genuinely enjoy, I finally connected with great, supportive management, and …

Community and the Church Retreat

God created us to be in Christ-centered community.  From the very beginning, God noted that it was not good for a man to be alone, and he created a suitable helper for him (Gen 2:18).  He then gave a mandate for mankind to continue to grow in number and assist Him with ruling over it.

Strength Made Perfect in Weakness

The last year or so has been quite challenging for me. I keep saying, “I think I’m full up, but, apparently, God disagrees because He keeps sending more my way.” I had my second son, Jeremy, in March 2022. Truly a blessing. Additionally, we decided to move to Bergen County. Given the crazy real estate market, it made sense to …

Behind & Before

Summer is fast-approaching and while it is a time of rest and relaxation, it can also be a season of great change and transition for some. I was reminded of this as I sat at the youth group banquet where we honored the seniors within our own GRC community who are graduating and entering new chapters of their lives. We …
