Challenged to go on...

The book of Psalms has been so very encouraging to me in the past while, but especially in the past couple of months as I've been walking through different challenges the Lord has allowed to come my way. Thankful for the hard times which bring us closer to our Heavenly Father. I was recently challenged with Psalm 37 - one of my absolute favorite Psalms - As I read it in the context to which I was challenged I was encouraged all over, in a new sort of way!

IF WE

Fret Not

Trust in the Lord
Delight ourselves in the Lord

Commit our ways to the Lord
Trust in Him

Be still before the Lord

Wait patiently for Him

HE WILL

Give you the desires of your heart
He will act
Bring forth your righteousness as the light

Upholds the righteous
Will not forsake you

The steps of a man are established by the Lord, when he delights in his way; though he falls, he shall not be cast headlong, for the Lord upholds him with His hand...I have not seen the righteous forsaken.

Isaiah 64:4 - From of old no one has heard, or perceived by the ear, no eye has seen a God besides you, who acts for those who wait for him.

While I'm Waiting

John Waller

I'm waiting, I'm waiting on you, Lord and I am hopeful

I'm waiting on you Lord, though it is painful

But patiently, I WILL wait

I will move ahead bold and confident

Taking every step in obedience

While I'm waiting

I will serve You

While I'm waiting

I will worship

While I'm waiting

I will not faint

I'll be running the race - even while I wait

I'm waiting, I'm waiting on you, Lord and I am peaceful
I'm waiting on you Lord, though it's not easy
But faithfully I WILL wait

YES I WILL wait!

I Am Your Shield

This is a song that has been a great encouragement to me and so I wanted to share it with all of you, hoping that it will minister to you and encourage you on... even during the dark times! May He give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of those secret places! I Am Your Shield Rachel Wissman My child are you discouraged By the sorrows of the day Does it seem like life is crumbing The skies have turned to grey Don’t forget I gave you promises to guide you every hour In the moment of your heartbreak Let me show you my great power And I will be your shield When the battle rages on And I will be your light when the way ahead is dark I will be your strong tower And guide you every hour Just place your life completely in my hand I know it won’t be easy I never said it would But my grace will always be there My plans for you are good Remember that your weaknesses are perfect in my sight Only when you yield them to ...

Lewiston, NY

Had been way to long since I had visited my friends in Lewiston and with a few days off I had to take the time! They are all growing up so fast, in a way I feel as though I've missed a big chunk of their lives, however I can't be everywhere I'd like all the time - learning to enjoy the moments we do get! The handsome little man We ventured on a get-away to Toronto for a few days- stayed in a lovely hotel and had lots of fun together! Then visited the Peoples Church on Sunday - was really neat to see Charles Price face-to-face and hear him speak. Not quite what I was expecting in the church building, but neat experience! Walking along the lakeshore with some beauts! Montana's serves the best stake for a nice price! Love these girls and love who they are becoming! It's always a treat to spend some time alone with them! Love you all! And yes!! Finally got to meet the two newest additions to the Heikoop Fami...

Blazing a Trail

There's approximately 3 acres of pine on our property and till this time that's all it's been, bush! Till this summer. In preparation for a Canada Day party I was hosting I wanted to create a trail for people to be able to stroll through. Many hands make light work - my younger brothers were such willing helpers! Jo-Jo and Mikes loved using the ax and helped clear a lot of the brush James helped a lot with the clearing as well, strange I didn't get any pictures though! Only this one! *smile* The finished product! Even if not a lot of people end up using it - I love it! The end - it's a beautiful trail now - if any of you would like to check it out... feel free, that's what it's here for!
