"THERE'S MORE"

"There's more" is a fairly positive couple of words. Everyone likes to here there's more desert and like Diane finding out there's more time left on the dishes deal at our local Co-op store. And when you win something and you are told all you have won and you can't believe it and then they tell you "there's more". Or you think you have to get a book back to the library and you're not finished it and to find out "there's more" time left as you had the date wrong. Or like a rumor were there's always more to it but most folks enjoy the little untrue part. Well the biggest and best "there's more" statement is when it comes to Jesus. The truth is and thank God for it and that is "there's far more" to Jesus than what you see in most people.
There's more hope,more joy, more peace, more solutions, more wisdom, more life, more forgiveness, and more love than you will ever find any where ever. "There's just more". Go figure!!!!

Each and everyone of us, no matter how insignificant or small we may feel, have been assigned a package of goods. A package of well wrapped and secured, just for each of us gifts. Shipping has been taken care of and delivery will never be late. Some packages may be marked fragile and handle with care, others priority post or caution. God is the shipper and we are the receiver if we choose this precious cargo. The load being so precious would have had a league of angels guarding and securing each gift so that all would arrive safely.
Now we all know if we don't open those packages when the opportunity arises, and as fallen creatures we are at the mercy of luck, chance and the latest, What Ever. That would be like making a pot of chicken noodle soup and throwing in anything but chicken and noodles, cause that's what is available and expecting great chicken noodle soup.
Opening those gifts, some large and some small, all are God's gifts to build each of us into the person he designed us to be. By opening these gifts God reveals the real person you are to be as an asset to the kingdom of God. And hope to all the world we live in.
Go on now look at your options and were the choices you have made in the past have gotten you. We have made as many bad choices as any one and we are so grateful that God sets the right choice before us but we need to choose and receive to get the benefits.
But first you need to reach around behind you and check to see if you can feel a bumpy area up the Center of your back, if you can you have a chance. But if you can't, you will have to pray that you get one soon, because "there is more."
John 15:16
You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.
17. This is my command: Love each other.

Matt.6:33
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you

Luke 10:19
I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.


**************HOPE FOR MORE*************

We as the family of the ranch believe there is so much more hope for each of you and us. Our heart is to always live out the love of God and His Son Jesus in a world that is desperate for real love. If you are struggling in any way with were your life is at, then at this moment take a few minutes and slowly say the prayer that Jesus gave us. Many say what good will that do, just do it and see.
If you need a break from the wreckage of life, jump in your car, truck or motorcycle and get on out here to the ranch. There are lots of hearts and hugs awaiting you.
Do you know that it is for the same reason an atheists cannot find God a drug dealer cannot find a police officer. WOW go figure!!!!!!

The Battle River Ranch Camp is a one and first of a kind, entry level faith based, trades and life skills opportunity facility. Offering an option to anyone that has been searching for an opportunity and is serious about finding out their area of strength and work place career possibilities.

Out hope and prayer is to let as many of you know about the ranch as possible so that the hope it will bring, the lives it will change and the encouragement it will provide, can start as soon as possible.

The ranch will be a one of a kind facility and will offer an option to many like no other. When God has a plan and like our friends Mike and Pastor Lyle wisely told us just keep your focus and don't let the distractions pull you away from God's purpose.
Thank you once again for taking the time to view our blog. The Battle River Ranch Camp is a non profit organization that is focused on developing trades, life skills and training opportunities for men and women that are searching and find it difficult to get the opportunities needed to develop a productive and positive life skill.
Many men and women today have no idea about their future or what they could be good at and to how find out their possible skill area or level. We are a faith based and mentor based training facility and our hope is with the help of anyone that has a heart for helping so many to give each person that comes to the ranch an opportunity to find the skills they were created for.
