Part 1:
Taking care of yourself not only means physically, mentally, and emotionally, but it means spiritually as well. It has been several years since I have read the Bible straight through. My first 5-7 years as a Follower that is pretty much what I would do. I picked up the Bible started reading Geniuses and didn't stop till I finished Revelations. When I would finish, I would just do it again. One thing I have never done, at least not on purpose is read the Bible in a year. Bryce and I have both set out to do this. We actually started on December 1. I didn't really want to wait a whole month to get started. I love the old testament. So many great stories to share and apply to your own life and walk. You learn so much about the character of God and how He loves and uses people.
The last several weeks have been exciting and crazy. Our last official day working at camp was December 31. There just weren't enough boys wanting to play outside to run the program we were directing. Crazy I know. It has been an exciting time of following God and listening to His voice. We do not have to worry about what to eat or where to stay. We know we are where we are supposed to be right now and God is our Provider!! When people are sorry to hear we have lost our jobs it creates such a wonderful testimony and time to share of how God provides. So many stories from the Bible of how God does this, and not just in the Bible but in our lives!!!
My favorite which I have shared so often is when the Israelites left Egypt and God rains Bread in the morning and meat at night for them to eat. Each day He gives them exactly what they need for the day. On the 6th day He gives them double to they have enough o the Sabbath as well. God has definitely rained food for Bryce and I while being in the middle of nowhere. I love sharing all the stories we have of doing what God told us to do and how all the details worked together even when it didn't make any 'human' sense.
The quote of my heart last week was this, "You can't walk on water unless you get out of the boat".
Well said Andrew Wommack, who by the way you should check out his audio teachings on his website. They are free and there are tons to pick from. Need help deciding where to start? Send me a message and I will give you some suggestions.
Back to the quote. We have always been on an exciting journey following God, but right now it is getting even more exciting as we are being led to new things and places. As God is asking for our hand and saying, "Come. Go without knowing. Any road, any cost" Giving my heart and life to Christ has been one of the wildest best things I have ever done.
Since this is long, I am breaking it into parts. Here is a picture of me and Cap for making it through this far!
