Spiritual Warfare...

In the midst of it big time. Ever stepped out on a limb for God? Ever felt like maybe just maybe He may not catch you?

I know practically all will be fine but boy the struggle of not knowing the details, not seeing the end result. Is this really His will or not? Maybe this is all my idea and...

My thoughts are higher than yours He reminds me. My cup runneth over, He tells me.

The Lord will fulfill His purpose for me; your love, O Lord endures forever - - do not abandon the works of your hands. He promises me, Psalm 138:8

Our second weekend training involved a huge storm in which we felt someone was spraying the roof of our meeting room with water. Really, we were like, hey, what's someone doing up there? Because when we went inside to start our devotional and worship time, the sky was clear, the birds were a singin' and all was well. While we were in a storm came through. We had no idea. Katie went out to shut a window to a vehicle that had been left open and came back drenched!

Spiritual implications? We battle against things unseen. Great reminder, God. Sometimes we think we're totally in control of the oppositions around us. Sad to say, folks, we're not. Thank you God you are in control because the battle is against so much more than we know.


The rain deterred us from going to the park to do evangelism as we had our last trip to Lynchburg. The change gave us quiet time instead to seek Him and watch some video of missionaries in far worse predicaments than we could ever dream of facing. Again, great reminder, God. Prayer is crucial.

That morning, we participated one of Mike's team building exercises. It was a tad bit hot and buggy but the fun waited for us just around the bend. It was to practice and exercise faith. Falling off of a picnic table into the arms of our team members. Some of us were larger than others :)
They caught us all, every one of us. Each team member had to fall into the arms of the waiting team members below. We had strict instructions not to bend our knees (or falter) as we'd fall right through. What a tough thing. I so wanted control of how I'd land. Instead I had to totally relax and fall in.

How much more! will God catch us on this trip.
Great reminder, God.
