Life Events

Events have a way of overtaking us. Plans are set aside. Goals postponed. Hopes dimmed. Focus altered. It becomes difficult not to be distracted. The road we thought was fairly clear ahead, becomes clouded, obscured.

How do we proceed? We dare not become immobilized by events, by circumstances; though the temptation is strong. What then? To step out, like the Israelite priests, who carrying the Ark of the Covenant, stepped down into the Jordan River, (which river dropped off, not sloped to its depth), not knowing where solid ground lay? Right into the current they stepped. Gingerly perhaps, but moving forward nonetheless. And then the miracle- dry land appeared before them and they walked across dryshod!

We cannot see the miracle in the first steps of faith. We, like they, can only see the swirling waters, the tumult. Yet God, in Christ Jesus, remains faithful. There is no other. He alone is our sure foundation. He is the one who makes our feet like hinds' feet and makes us walk on our high places (Habakakuk 3:19).

ANOTHER change...for the good

We have decided to have the conference fee set at $10.oo per person, and trust God to provide the money we need to pay the expenses through the number of people who come. Our expenses are not outrageous, but real. So be in prayer that God will supply all our needs.

We are soooo excited at the team the Lord is gathering to lead our worship and our intercessors team. We hope everyone will come to the conference prayed up...

Raindrops

Water droplets on the window-like

God's tears streaming down

when He sees this broken world and all its broken people.

People- bent, twisted-

going against the grain of their creation;

becoming wise in their own eyes

while blindly following the Liar.

Tears pouring down like drops of blood;

Trickling, running, pouring, gushing

over the rough wood of the crossbeam;

Dripping, one drop at a time on me;

On my sin, on my brokenness, on my

twisted pride.

The snake no longer slithers away-

for his head has been crushed.

Crushed by the blood tears of God

shed one lonely day at Golgotha.

It's raining.

Raining tears.

Tears of joy. Tears that bring life.

Hallelujah !
