Nothing Can Stop Our God!

He is ABLE and will complete everything that He has begun!!

I've been pondering on this verse recently and it has become the cry of my heart. "As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness." Psalms 17:15

My one desire is to pursue Jesus and to be satisfied with nothing less than His likeness and righteousness. One day, when I see Him and kneel before His throne. . .my heart and passion will be fulfilled; to see my Savior in all of His splendor and majesty. I will behold Him not just by faith and belief in His word but by sight! He's so faithful, unchanging and always fulfilling His promises to us. 

I had the awesome opportunity this summer to go to Ellerslie out in Windsor, CO! Oh my goodness, Jesus absolutely changed my life and perspective in so many ways!!! Day by day he continually amazes me! He's worthy of ALL of me and as I die to myself, He conforms me into the image of His dear Son. In His faithfulness and mercy, He guides and directs my paths, drawing me closer to Himself. 

He's beyond WORTHY of our total love, devotion and complete attention! Our selfish, self-centered ways crowd out the love and power of our Savior. We want Him to meet our needs, fulfill our desires and make our plans work. When He is calling us to come away with Him and enjoy the bountiful blessings that He has for us, they're beyond anything we can ever imagine. In His presence is fullness of joy and pleasure forevermore. When will we begin to believe the promises of God? When will we take Him at His word? Our God does not lie and therefore His word is truth. You can stand firm and secure in what He has promised,  He will not fail! There is NO need to doubt anymore, He wants us to experience His greatness and power through the life of His Son, Jesus. So many times we settle for a mediocre Christian life; trying to do the "right" things to get by and live a "good" life. He has greater adventures ahead for us! May we represent our King and show Him, not just in word but by our lives, how Worthy He is!

My family came to Colorado for the Ellerslie Basic Graduation and we took a small family vacation. We stayed in the mountains for a few days and did some hiking, free climbing, and admiring all of God's beautiful handiwork.

Travel times this year have been great!! 

I travelled down to Missouri for about 18 hours to surprise Hannah for her state piano competition. It was so fantastic!!! After 30 minutes of silence and shock...we had a party! LOL I'm so beyond proud of this girl, She continues to give her best in every area and go above and beyond to accomplish her goals! Love you!! 

Pal came up to visit HQ when Seth was still working up there. We had a blast! I'm so glad you came up to visit!!

Such grand times! A wedding, music, bonfires, smores, church and visiting friends!

Daniel, Seth and I headed home for a weekend visit. . .and delivered a baby grand piano that a friend had found for us! 

We went down to Verity's Harvest Fest and Christmas Reception! Good times hanging out with friends and making new ones!!

I was so blessed that my family was able to come up for the Christmas conference and my Mom's 60th birthday! 

"Because of you I laugh harder, cry less, and smile a LOT more!"
