Good Morning and Happy Wednesday....
 
I feel great today. What is God doing in my life???? Who knows? Not I (entirely),but I can rest in the fact that He knows exactly what he is doing. So I had sent out an e-mail to family from my new e-mail address that I am migrating to. If you did not get it and are reading this I am sorry. I do not have a current e-mail for you. If you want you can let me know what it is and I will gladly add you.
 
So here is the jst of what is going on. For a couple years now I have been running.... arguing with God about Bible College. This past Sunday I gave in. I surrendered to His will and said if He wants me there, I will go. The only "criteria" is that my pastor would have peace about me going. I believe that is exactly what God would have me do. Follow the guidence of Him and my spiritual leader. So, I have actually felt pretty good about the whole thing. In my mind I am like "well we are already having garage sales and selling stuff....." but it is interesting how He works.
 
So Here is a rundown of the week so far. Sunday evening I surrendered to serving God and doing His will. What I posted above.... Bible College.
Monday, at missions conference the sermon was about are you doing all you can or being the best that you are for God? I know I am not and am asking God to help me to be all I can for Him.
Tuesday, Now here is where it gets kinda interesting.....
  I love my wife and at times wish I was more of the outgoing type than I am now. God made me the way I am and yes, I have fleshly tendencies to be an introvert. God is working on this though. Anyways, she ended up talking to one of the missionaries at church and found out that her being 1/4th Latvian ( I think that is the right Nationality and amount...) could allow for her to get citizenship there for her and the family...... me included. The conversation seems to have "snowballed" from there. I talked with the missionary that night and well.... not sure what God is doing. I have a wife who is willing to "follow" wherever God leads. Sometimes I think she likes to "folow" from the front (just kidding).
 
Today........ Today is a good day. I have no idea where God is going with this. I have never been to a mission field. I have no experience at doing anything but trying to work/run a bus route under my own power. But today God and I had a talk. Well, okay..... I asked God to clear this next step for me. Pretty much looking to see if He wants me to go to the mission field to assist a missionary or not. Who knows maybe just a visit to a mission field so I see what it really is. I do not really care. As long as I am in his will I am happy.
 
Enough rambling I guess. Yes, I know. My writing process needs help.... Have a great day.
 
Laterz....

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...
