you ever have......?

You ever have one of those nights where sleep seems to evade you? I have too!

Last night was different though. I fell asleep just fine. It was the waking up at 2AM in the midst of a battle that was different. Unbelievable how this can happen. Just so you know I am still human and struggle the same as you. Last night was one of those times where I let a personal "struggle" cause me grief. No it was not a sinful struggle. There is nothing wrong with the issue that I am having. It is however one that from time to time is used against me to cause me grief or attempt me to trip and fall. Last night I of course tried to handle it myself. Was failing of course so then I turned it over to God. Problem fixed? No, not really. I still hurt some because of this struggle, but God knows about it and cares for me. He can do what He wants with it. I am trusting in Him to give me the strenght to accept His answer. I have the answer I want for it, but it may not be what he wants. Hard to accept sometimes that is for sure. Maybe I need to learn to move my focus?

Anyways, Been sick for a couple days now. Hate it. But it could be worse I suppose. Looking forward to a hunting trip this coming weekend with my son and dad. It has been a while.
Speaking of which, I really wish I had my bow right now. We had a young bull moose in our yard on Sunday. I would have had a perfect 30 to 40 yard shot at him from our back door. Oh well. We called a friend of ours who has one and he came over and stalked it for a while. Problem was the bull had wandered into our neighbors yard by the time he got there. He drew on it once that I saw but never took a shot. He said he did not want to shoot it in the neighbors yard and cause any problems. I kind of understood what he was saying. No point in getting yourself in trouble for tresspassing or something crazy like that just for a moose. Anyways, I guess God has other plans for him. I will be honest, I hope we get a moose when we go out this weekend. Been a long time and I think the meat could help.

Well off we go again on another week. Have a blessed day.

Later...

Continue to Strive

 We all have our own lives. For me, it has caused a stop in my posting anything for a long time. Many events have happened since I was last on here. I never forgot that I had this "blog". thank you to those who have read many of my past postings. Once again, I have something for your reading enjoyment. I may not be great at having the scriptures at hand to back my words, but I know they are scripturally sound. Combative Desires   The battle continues to rage in my mind A reprieve from this fight I cannot find Take stands for what I perceive to be true Have plenty of scripture for strength to endue But my mind I find is still on the proverbial fence The desires I have are not wrong and very intense   Examples around me seem to show a different story Lives I see being lived to give God the glory Taking a path that to me seems contrary To the truth of His word not being wary   I strive to seek guidance from a higher power And still no assurance in this present hour I ha...

Hiking and the path of life

Teen Camp 2019 @ Twin Bears Alaska. This is a place of "holy ground" for me. A place of many memories now both bitter and sweet. A place that has been used often in my life to bring about a time of God communicating with me through many of the messages. As tradition would have it, we once again hiked the Angel Rocks trail. As the years have passed, I must admit that the hike has become more of a challenge. Some would look at it and decide to stay behind and wait for the teens and "younger adults" to come back. Whether a glutton for punishment or a hard head that will not accept the passing of time, I once again headed out. Many young adults and teens sprinted off in order to be the first to reach the top. As I walked along the trail, most of the time alone, God started to pour some spiritual applications about the trail into my mind. In our spiritual walk with God, we are all heading in a direction to become more Christ-like. Just like the trail, it becomes mor...

Life's Ambitions

Prov. 16:9 A mans heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps. We can often plan out our day, week, month, year, or life. We set long term goals and dreams and either head in those directions or continue to plan to achieve the outcome. There is nothing wrong with the setting of goals. However, we must not "write them in stone". How often have the ideas and plans you have set have gone awry? The life events that has been handed you, end up derailing your dreams and ambitions? It can become something that emotionally brings you down to the point of depression. You can end up loosing your temper and becoming angry at people or situations that have interrupted or brought to an end your desires. How foolish we are to think that we are in control. God allows us breath. God keeps our hearts beating. God gives us strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow. Oh we can plan. We can have hopes and dreams. But please remember that they are at the mercies of God...
