Solid Rock on Which We Stand

  Jesus is our Solid Rock.   Psalm 18 I love You, O’Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom will I trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised; So shall I be saved from my enemies. David spoke these words and he had been running from Saul.   As we were driving up through the mountains and seeing trees grow on the top of rocky hills and knolls, I thought about how The Lord is our solid rock but also how we can be so hard hearted but God can still soften it.  Sometimes it takes a lot to crack through, but when it does, the reward is heaven bound.   We left Texas 27 May and headed to Colorado to go on the Royal Gorge train, the Cog railway, and to see what it was like.  It was snowing by the time we got back to the railway depot.  It was raining in the town below.  We also drove through Garden of Rocks (gods...

Have you ever thought about your faith? Can it be lost? Can it be found again if it's lost?

  When you first came to Jesus, your heart knew that it was missing something, there was maybe a hole in your heart, and you knew you JUST NEEDED to fill it.  Jesus was the answer you needed.   You were so on fire for Jesus!  YOU told everyone that would listen and even to some who wouldn't listen, but you still were so on fire!   Are you still?   How has your faith grown? How has it waned?  Sometimes we are in a huge group setting when this happens and we don't know where to start to feed what God has for us, that fire that consumes are thoughts.  We are falling in love with Jesus.  This fires needs stoked, it needs oxygen to survive, but how?     Sometimes it takes an amazing pastor who can teach and not preach, one that grows you and not stops you.  One that finds joy in doing so.  Sometimes it takes a music group whose worship songs or praise songs hits you right there, and you are put on your knees...

Hello friends, I have written much about patience yet we are putting our patience into practice.   We left Livingston TX on March 21st.  We had been told that it would take 2 hours to do our new tires, it took about 6. We got into the shop for fixing stuff that needed it before leaving for a 10,000 mile + journey and then we would spend a week in an AirBnb so they could repair a mark from an unmovable tree.  🌲But it has really tested our patience as we are on the 8th day of this and they said it should be done in 5 days.   I was not happy last night after I called them and they called back and husband had talked to them.  Afterward, I was not who I should have been, I apologized to my husband.  Frustration is high, patience is still intact, but the ineptitude of the shop has gotten us where we don't belong, in the weeds.   Being in the weeds is hard to grow your faith up, but maybe it shouldn't be.  Maybe this is where we grow our ...

Life abundantly?

Today, I sit here in a class that did not show again.  By now, I would be a bit ticked but since this isn't a student's fault, I get paid for it either way, it isn't a big deal. Besides just a few more weeks and this crew will be retired.  🎧🖳💻 Don't get me wrong, I will miss them.  They have kept me bright, thinking, and busy.  They, themselves, are busy in their lives.  😊😀 I was just reading about praying while waiting for the student to show.  It talked about the Jesus Prayer.  I thought ok, I know the Lord's Prayer and the Apostles Creed, but I don't know this one.   "Lord Jesus, Son of God, Have Mercy on Me!" Then, it talks about breathing and being intentional about praying and breathing.   The best I could think of or remember was/is breathing in and out Yahweh. Breathe in Yah Breathe out Weh Slow down your breaths; don't rush this  In- Yah Out- Weh As you breathe this way, your breaths slow down, your mind clears, a...

We waded in the UNTILS for long enough!

 The UNTILS can be murky water or a time of refreshing.  They can try to pull you under or they can give you hope.  The UNTILS can be a chance to see things clearer than you could before but only through patience.   Now patience is not easily obtained because you have to go through trials and tribulations to get to the side of patience.  "Patience is the  ability to wait for a long time without becoming annoyed or upset . It is also the  ability to remain calm and not become annoyed when dealing with problems or with difficult people . Patience is a personality trait and an attribute or ability (websterdictionary) So, our UNTILS are almost over and what have we learned?  SO much!  What will we do?  We have a plan to take off through some amazing areas and see some amazing things.  We are so excited to travel again.  We will see family, friends, and some new areas.  We can not wait to see Orcas in Washington.
