Snowbell (mountain flowers) |
It was so great seeing the cousins spending time together, city kids mixing with country home school kids. There was a lot of time outside fishing and swimming in the creek, ministering to them through music, prayer and just our family interactions. Great time of bonding and hoping and praying the Holy Spirit touches them.
In between family visits the kids, hubby and I went mountain hiking...so much fun! We drove north a few hours then headed for a 18 km hike into the snow! Usually at this time of year there is not much snow at the tops of the mountains but because we have had such a cool summer and a lot of rain, the snow didn't melt.

Soon my hubby's mom and dad will come for a visit but before they come I need to decide what to do for my son's grade 11 school year. My daughter needs the other half of her university books, which we are finding out to be really expensive. Life moves on, time passes and I look back and just praise God that I have Him in my life!
Please continue to pray for Summer, as this new medicine is WORKING! She is on her way to remission. :) Click here to read her last post.
If you could remember me in your prayers I would really appreciate it, it seems I am having an RA flare :( I guess it is all the extra work I am doing, lack of sleep and I think some food that I shouldn't be eating has been in my diet. Thanks!
Ecclesiastes 11:7-9 NIV
Light is sweet,
and it pleases the eyes to see the sun.
However many years anyone may live,
let them enjoy them all.
But let them remember the days of darkness,
for there will be many.
Everything to come is meaningless.
and it pleases the eyes to see the sun.
However many years anyone may live,
let them enjoy them all.
But let them remember the days of darkness,
for there will be many.
Everything to come is meaningless.
You who are young, be happy while you are young,
and let your heart give you joy in the days of your youth.
Follow the ways of your heart
and whatever your eyes see,
but know that for all these things
God will bring you into judgment.
and let your heart give you joy in the days of your youth.
Follow the ways of your heart
and whatever your eyes see,
but know that for all these things
God will bring you into judgment.

ReplyDeleteOnly a week to go here and freedom will reign again here! Although my prayer time has seemed to have dwindled a bit, maybe I can step it up again. Thank you for your investment of prayer time for me. It's time for you to get a return on it and I'm happy to do so:)
You live in a beautiful place! Loved the photos!!!
Hi Sojourner,
ReplyDeleteSoon you will be free from visitors! I don't know how you managed with so many people staying with you for so long. I have just had off and on for 2 weeks and I am done! :s
Thank you for praying for me, I happily receive. :)
Just a two hr drive north and we can head into some beautiful mountains. My son wanted an intense work out so he carried a 70 lb backpack. He was really tired by the end of the hike.

Hi Child of God -
ReplyDeleteGlad you had such a great family time. I love those mountain shots - beautiful and splendid to view.
Prayer for you:
Father, please in the name of JESUS, please send your words to heal Child of God, and move mountains in her life that will astound and pleasantly surprise her. Visit her in new ways to further assure her that You are on her side because she chooses to steadfastly draw nigh to You.
Prove to those in her life that she is chosen, and that You definitely bless those that bless her...
Let her spiritual hearing become keener and her discernment sharper.
Reward her, please Lord, for all of her faithfulness to You, the only true and living GOD.
Thank You, Lord - Amen
Hi Sandra,
ReplyDeleteAs is normal, the pictures do not do the mountains justice. They were breathtaking.
Thank you for this prayer and praying for me. The RA is under control again! :) In only 2 short days I went from flare to no flare, that has never ever happened before. Usually a flare will take up to 2-3 wks to reside. I believe it was an attack from Satan and I had a few strong prayer warriors pray and rebuke this attack.
Thank you for praying and stopping by.
Blessings,
