God sees us
YEAH! we are in Bear Trap Ranch Colorado...just about an hour west of Colorado Springs. the days are great. we have been "in camp" for a week now and all is REAL. God knew this is just what we needed after some long months of preparing. (i have to interrupt here cuz i am sitting in a large log cabin watching ANNIE with 5 little boys and hazel. all boys have eyes glued and hazel is cheering Annie on as she fights and then walking around the room trying to get the boys to laugh with her, but they are into this...funny!) i can't even really describe all of our emotions going on here but the gist would be that we have come into a family who seem to have known us for a long time...but they still like us...no...love us! they "get" our thoughts and words and it's so encouraging to be around like minded people. you know? have you ever done that? even though we aren't all the same, we can understand, grow, and better each other. God has moved here and continues to do so. i believe we are going to be changed persons for going through this program. i personally have cried buckets...as for greg...you'll have to ask him...because it's a safe place to release and empty ourselves so that God can fill us with what HE wants in us...so good so good! it's funny how you can hear verses from the Bible 100 times and then the 101th time, the words become alive and true to YOUR life...the words have always been true...but God prompted something more so he can really be there and show you that He has always been there watching...providing...seeing and pursuing ME! so i hope you can be encouraged by your life today...because tomorrow may never come...yesterday is gone...today is all we have!
