Amazing GOD!!

I just got back from spending the weekend in Buena Vista, Colorado, having some fun adventures at Noah's Ark with some folks from the Youth Group at my parents church in Michigan.

It amazed me how the words in "God Calling" went with every day of this adventure I was on. Something we did, I thought, was discussed/talked about, or experienced went right along with what I later read when spending some time alone with GOD. Just where I am at in wanting more of JESUS. I am only gonna share some of the words in "God Calling" and not much of what I was sharing and experiencing with GOD... you will just have to trust that the following words were related in some way to what GOD was doing in, through, and around me the past few days. HE really is amazing.

I drove there on June 26, the two hour or so drive was spent talking to GOD and viewing HIS wonderful creation. That night I read DO NOT RUSH:

Learn in the little daily things of life to delay action until you get My Guidance....
So many lives lack poise. For in the momentous decisions and the big things of life, they ask My help but into the small things they rush alone.
By what you do in the small things those around you are most often antagonized or attracted.

I went Rock Climbing and Rappelling on June 27, the idea of trusting GOD... especially while standing on the edge of a cliff... amazing HE is!

The Eternal Arms shelter you. "Underneath are the Everlasting Arms." This promise is to those who rise above the Earth-life and seek to soar higher, to the Kingdom of Heaven.
You must not feel the burden of your failure. Go on in faith, the clouds will clear, and the way will lighten- the path becomes less stony with every step you take. So run that you may obtain. A rigid doing of the simple duties, and success will crown you efforts....
...Remember now abideth these three Faith, Hope, and Charity. Faith is your attitude towards Me. Charity your attitude towards your fellowman but, as necessary, is Hope, which is confidence in yourself to succeed.

I will add only succeeding with CHRIST, can't do it on my own because the Hope comes in HIM.

I went Whitewater Rafting on June 28, of course I have a story just like every time I have gone down Brown's Canyon on the Arkansas River with Noah's Ark. However, thank Heavens that I didn't fall out this time... only ended up in a bush, gave lots of Laughter to all.

It has not been in vain this training and teaching time. The time of suppression, repression, depression is changed now into a time of glorious expression.
Life is flooded through and through with Joy and Gladness. Indeed I have prepared a table of delights, a feast of all good things for you.
Indeed your cup runneth over and you can feel from the very depth of your heart. "Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever."

I went for a hike up Mt. Princeton on June 29, we had an opportunity to sit and be still with GOD for over a half hour... Wow, did I meet HIM there in that time and it was awesome to listen to HIS still small voice... I got to spend time in prayer on some matters that really need GOD's attention.... and things that I have and need to continue to hand over to HIM and Trust HIM in and with. I also got to have JUST HIM for a while. Wow, I do love HIM soooo!! I really couldn't believe this day how the words later were a reflection to my time with HIM.

MY WILL - YOUR JOY

Our Lord and our God. Lead us, we beseech Thee. Lead us and keep us.

You can never go beyond My Love and Care. Remember that. No evil can befall you. Circumstances I bless and use must be the right ones for you.
But I know always that the first step is to lay your will before Me as an offering, ready that I shall do what is best, sure that, if you trust Me, what I do for you will be best.
Your second step is to be sure, and to tell me so, that I am Powerful enough to do everything, that no miracle is impossible for me.
Then leave all with Me. Glad to leave all your affairs in a Master Hand. Sure of safety and protection. Remember you cannot see the future. I can.
You could not bear it. So only little by little can I reveal it to you. Accept My Will and it will bring you joy.

I left the morning of June 30, to return home after saying good bye to some new friends, as well as old ones. Thank you Teresa for allowing me to join you all... what an awesome and amazing adventure to take part in.

Take joy wherever you go. You have been much blessed. You are being much blessed.
Such stores of blessing are awaiting you in the months and years that lie ahead. Pass every blessing on.
Love can and does go round the world, passed on the God-currents from one to the other.
Shed a little sunshine in the heart of one, that one is cheered to pass it on, and so My vitalizing joy-giving message goes.
Be transmitters these days. Love and Laugh. Cheer all. Love all.
Always seek to understand others and you cannot fail to love them.
See Me in the dull, the uninteresting, the sinful, the critical, the miserable.
See Me in the laughter of children and the sweetness of old age, in the courage of youth and the patience of man and womanhood.

Being up in the mountains playing this past weekend made me feel alive in a way I haven't felt in a long time. I love being out in GOD's creation. I love doing the activities I did this past weekend. At times it makes me wish I could do them all the time, every day like when I worked at a summer camp. I want to ask GOD why a door hasn't opened up in this area or in some way to do it all the time? But HE knows, HE has a plan and a purpose and HIS plan and purpose are much better than my thoughts on the plan. I know HE has spoken many times things in my life when I was seeking HIM... and I know that those things will happen some day in some way... However, they won't be like any of the thoughts that I have had on the matter. Plus, it really isn't about me doing the things I think I should do or would like to do... it is ALL ABOUT HIM, if CHRIST isn't at the center and what it is all about then what is the point. As I have written recently.... JUST GIVE ME JESUS! HE really is ALL I WANT and NEED.... and that is exactly what I got to do this weekend.... Meet and Experience the RISEN CHRIST. What an Amazing GOD!!
