Friday's Frenzy as we head for higher ground






















Heading for higher ground
What a God we serve, He must be ignoring a lot of His regular jobs because we sure got blessed again today. Jim Rienhart arrived with his crane and truck and spent the morning showing James how to run the equipment as he felt God telling him into leaving it with us for a while PTL. Also another load of lumber showed up for the roof package and maybe we will have a roof this weekend. We all know how God works for the good of those who love Him and boy do we love Him.

As we prepare for the Saturday work BEE it is supposed to be a really nice day so if you can spare the day or just a few hours please come and hep us at the ranch.

Higher ground is a place that the real picture, situation and conditions can be seen and observed. Choices are easier to make when we have the opportunity to see clearly what we are dealing with, ahead and behind from were we are standing on higher ground. Our hearts purpose and desire should be to go to where they are than lead to higher ground where we then can see life as it was, life as it is, life as it can be.

YOU HAVE A UNIQUE PURPOSE

We are all so unique and special to God that our lives should daily be waiting in anticipation of God plan for us. But we do need to be ready and prepared cause,

1 Corinthians 2:9 "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him" —

Probably the most misunderstood situation ever to occur is that we each and every one of us has a history. A history that includes the goodness of a God a God that loved us so much that He gave His one and only son to take away the sin of the world, and he is waiting to take you back. Yet so many today choose or have in the past chosen to walk away and trust in what ever feels good at the moment, or trusting in them selves and their own strength or trust in nothing at all and then to wonder why there seems to be no hope. A life with out hope is like a motor cycle with out a battery and spark. It's a lot of work to push that bike every where, you look good with that bike beside you but the only way to look good is by a lot of work to push that bike every where. Why not put a battery in and and ride that machine the way it was made to be ridden and get places that it can get you. That's like our lives with out God, we try everything but never get any where, the brakes always seem to be on, that could also be called pride and ego and when God isn't invited into our lives we will never find the purpose we were created to be. With out knowing the purpose of a life, that life flounders like a boat lost at sea, tossed and thrown every where and goes into eternity never knowing what it's purpose was.

Right now if you feel lost and with out hope there is some one out there that will spend time with you and listen, some one that won't betray you or laugh at you, but will be a true friend a friend like you never knew before. You probably know who it is already but you have been afraid to take that step or make the call.

Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)

For I know the plans I have for YOU,"declares the LORD,

plans to prosper YOU and

not to harm YOU,

plans to give YOU hope and a future.
