Giants, Ramblings, and Just Checking In...

 During Christmas break (aka the Grandparent invasion), we visited this park called the City of Rocks.  It's crazy how new and different everything is for us down here....I find myself connecting with how the Israelites must have felt as they journeyed into their promised land flowing with milk and honey.

 Awe inspiring to say the least...we think of ourselves as this ultimate force, but really we're just a breath...these rock formations have been here practically forever, seen countless generations and fads go by, yet they stay the same....

Jim is gearing up for a work trip, one that could change everything...it's scary big....way out of our box..but when you step back, you see that it might just be exactly what God's been preparing him for all along....and maybe our box has been way too small....

 The same God who set these rocks into place, who measured out the waters in the crease of his hand...the one who holds the universe together...is the same one who knew us before we were born and laid out our steps..these very steps, right here and now...for His purpose and His plan.  For such a time as this!

So we are not daunted by impossible odds, sales numbers, and comfort zones...We seek God with our whole heart, His way is the only way...and trust in His timing, in His promises...

At times, we might feel like grasshoppers in the shadow of the giants of this land.  But we have a God who has gone before us, our path is smooth and our footing is sound.  We put all of our trust in the Lord our God because in this world, He is the only sure thing!

If you think about it this next week, some prayers of agreement would be much appreciated.  I hope to be able to disclose more soon....God sure does make a great story out of humble journeys!!!!
