Thanks.....

Lord,
Thanks for leading us in these times, given my choice I would resist this journey with all my being. Clearly I see you in this simply because of my desire to resist it. Your hand is Provincial and Divine. I am broken, reshaped by You. I am weak, strengthened in You. Humbled by Your Mercy and Grace, for me. Aside from You I am not worthy. Your knowing the potential in me. I am Yours.....have always been....now I see.
Then this spoke to me....James 5:11 "Behold, we consider blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job's perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy."

Yours Truly!

p.s. thanks for Your provision...my soul mate, Sandra
p.s.s. thanks for surrounding me with Your people
p.s.s.s. thanks for providing such leadership and vision

Thanks for being so patient with me, today I cry out "Do all that you have in mind....I am with you heart and soul."

Otherwoods - River Flow

A chance encounter with a band....Otherwoods



One day one of the band members came into the shop selling something. I really did not want to give him the time. I listened, when suddenly God spoke, we began talking about Jesus and the difference He had made in our lives. We talked for almost an hour, prayed together and made a friend. He handed me a CD, a demo of their "Can't See The Forest From The Trees" I instantly put the CD into my computer, listened...Powerful to me. What spoke the loudest to me was the fact of how humble this drumming disciple was to serve the Lord. The talent and opportunity to do what he does in service to Him. The fact that he leveraged his platform to speak for Him. To minister should not be situational, it should be instinctual. After all "Out of the waters, I am a new man..."
Today's favorite song "Climb Upon My Back"
