February update

So February has pretty much come and gone. Figured i should do an update of some sort.

Life has been continuing on and God is still showing himself strong. There are times where I struggle in my faith, because I have the faith as a grain of mustard seed (or Less). But it is a constant growing process. I have already seen Him work in some areas that I was really having a hard time facing and He took care of it all. Things may not be "perfect" by human ideas, but they are what God has at this time. I am thankful for the judgements He has given me.

Lets see.... Bus route is going great. I have a constant average around 10. This is by no means because of my doing, but because of God's grace. I have been given the privilege to fill in for a Sunday school class twice. Again, I am grateful that God decided to use this stammering tongue of mine. And in RU, I am seeing God make changes in my life and am so glad He is.

Speaking of the changes, you know when you are the one that the changes are happening to, you sometimes wonder if it is all in your head or is there really outside evidence of these changes. God knew I questioned this from time to time and that when family said they saw changes, I was still not convinced. God is so good. He had two different people that I know (out of the blue mind you) mention how much they had seen a change in me.
All I could thin was WOW God!! You really do care. Even about a superficial thing like this. Actually, know that I think about it. It was more like three people. Difference is the third one came and talked to me about a situation because I was a more "spiritually minded" friend. Was grateful that they had seen that in me.

So RU.... I am now the class leader for the young boy's group starting this Friday (March 1). I am looking forward to it and kinda nervous about it as well. But God has laid this before me and I am stepping out in faith that He is there with me as I go down this new path. My prayer is that God is able to use me to encourage these young men and to be a godly example to them.

Example.... I have thought about this some. Many times I have wanted to be an example to others. Problem is, I already was being an example. An example of doing wrong and the troubles it brought about. I now get to be an example of what God can do in your life if you will just surrender to His will.

Well, there probable is more I can or maybe should say... but nothing is coming to mind at the moment.

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...
