The Morning...

Good morning world!

The Mighty One, God, the Lord, 
speaks and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to where it sets.
Psalm 50:1


What a blessing it is to get up each morning and watch the world wake up and see the dawn of a new day.
Sleeping in is nice sometimes, but who would want to miss this?

These are good days. Oh, I know, there is a lot of bad going on and sadness and chaos, but these are good days. It just depends on how you look at it. Even in the hard things, we are on an adventure with God to see how we can help to further the Kingdom in all we say, do, think, act and live. This week I have watched a Godly young woman deal with a serious breast cancer prognosis. She has four children and a wonderful husband. Her attitude is beautiful. She knows the Lord is in charge and that there is no where else she would rather be than in His hands.

Looking at the road ahead of her...she rejoices at what opportunities there will be to glorify Him and to see how He is working in her life. You can't explain that kind of faith. You can't explain the love of God and how He rules. The supernatural in our lives- the working of the Spirit. I am thankful that He loves and cares and never leaves us.  I am thankful for His children that have joy and faith even in the midst of trouble.

Please join me in praying for Denise and her sweet family:

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
