Lots happening out at the ranch as James-1 is busy working on the upper level framing and James-2 is busy working on electrical wiring. Still need the roof shingled if anyone is able we are accepting able servants to bless this project.
We have again been blessed with a load of straw and hay for the horses sp they will be taken care of for another winter.
We are in need of help as the tornado damage has used most of our funds to bring the lodge back to where we were before July 18. We are asking if you would pray for us as we move ahead at closing in the lodge for winter inside work.
Psalm 73 : 23 - 24
You hold me by my right hand. You will guide me with your councel.
Hey ya you, am I a God that stays out of your site and mind, or am I not a God that's always available to you when you call. For in the middle of hard times, I will stand by you as your friend. In darkness I will be your light; there is no darkness that can can hide my face from the heart and eyes of faith. My strength, radiance and light are all the more powerful in any darkness the enemy will throw at you.
In distress and grief my care and love for you is abundant. When you are led to believe you are a failure, I will lift you up and walk with you. When loneliness surrounds you My tenderness will surround you. I am the Lion of Judah that pours mighty courage and wisdom to conquer and move you forward.
I am your Lord, I am your God. In me are no limitation, in me is no lack. My store rooms always have a full and fresh supply that will never be exhausted. Let your heart run wild, your imagination go the distance. There is nothing impossible or beyond the depth of My planning and provision for you.
Be full of confidence and face each day with a confidence in Me because I have made all the plans, arrangements and reservations ahead of you. Today drop your life and plans into My care. Sound to easy, hmm go figure!!!
Remember the only way the enemy gains strength is when we acknowledge him in any situation for any reason. Today and always turn your acknowledgement directly to the healer, the sustainer, the provider, the abundant life giver Jesus.
