God is in control...

Hebrews 5:14-16 "Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are---yet was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace in our time of need."


Hebrews 13:5-6 "....because God has said "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you; So we say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?"


Hebrews 13:14 "For here we do not have an enduring city, but we are looking for the city that is to come!"


"The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of Heaven and Earth!
Acts 17:24

very funny thing. i will be leaving my family tomorrow to accompany my 5th graders to Sky Ranch. Last year when I did this I was scared to death and it was one of the first times you'd commented on my blog....a year ago. You were very encouraging and it helped ease my nerves in leaving my family and having my son travel 5 hours away from me to be with grandparents. Now, a year later, I opened your blog and the title was "God Is In Control". Again, you calmed my nerves about the trip. :)

Enjoy.  Alaska memories. Love this fat Santa above. Thrilled with how this little wreath turned out. Happy Christmas decorating! Remember: Your family probably does not care if your house looks like something out of Southern Living. They love the traditions and old ornaments and chipped Christmas mugs and plates. Our kids sure do. It is hard when we compare what we have to other people's "things" or decorations. We are all so richly blessed. I say, just don't do it. I am trying to hav

Camp Blue Haven-2012

Image
Mountains green, sparkling streams, every morning you greet me. Pine trees tall, waterfalls, blue skies canopied o'er me. May I know as I live and grow, God forsakes me never. May His love from above bless Blue Haven forever.  And what a blessing it was this summer to be back up in the cool mountains with so many people that we love.  As I reflected on this special place I thought about how big of an influence it has been on our children and our hearts.  At camp time slows down. There are so few distractions. The focus is on fellowship, enjoying God's creation and growing in knowledge of Him.  It has been a place to teach us what our life in this world should be about. It has also been a glimpse of what I think heaven will be a little like.  It has taught us to stay close to one another, to be accountable to each other and to live an out loud life for Christ. No holding back. Living it. Because of the encouragement and growth that happens here we are bett
