"Lord... give me the gift of faith to be renewed and shared with others each day. Teach me to live this moment only, looking neither to the past with regret, nor the future with apprehension. Let love be my aim and my life a prayer." ~Roseann Alexander-Isham

Weekend Meeting Risen Christ

My weekend was again very great.

Friday night, after passing the test and breaking a board, I was promoted to yellow belt in Tae Kwon Do.

Saturday was not spent my usual way, but was spent hiking up 'Baegundae Mountain' in Mt. Bukhansan National Park. Well I actually rock climbed more than hiked. At least it wasn't a hike I could have done with my usual hiking partners, those Robbins' Kids. Although I am use to hiking (and walking presently a lot)- this hike kicked my butt!!

Yet, every time I am up and out in nature, I am reminded again how I love the outdoors and of course how Awesome and Great God is. Being out there brought up something in me that I have really been praying about. That prayer being not only wanting God desperately in my life, but also seeing Him in lives in action. Not just being around people believing in God, but having that belief transformed in people taking action seizing moments and meeting the Risen Christ in their daily lives (FD- like picking up their mats).

I thought once I stepped out into the World, I'd be around others who desperately wanted the same thing too.

Maybe I have just been too blessed over the past years. First, at Christ Church in Nashville. And second, with a small group of families in Denver. I met the Risen Christ in so many ways and through so many lives, yet I haven't in this place where I thought I would see it more....

That WAS until God answered my prayer, not only once, but twice this weekend.

Once, on Saturday evening, spending time talking, sharing, and praying with another teacher. I not only met Him there, but saw and experienced Him so clearly.

Second time, this morning at church, when the Pastor allowed God to change and have the worship time. I have found my church home away from home, that is for sure.

I wish I could give you more, but I don't know how to put into words how I met, saw, and experienced the Risen Christ through answered prayer and divine moments this weekend. PRAISE GOD!!
