Though His Eyes

Do we all have this idea in our minds - that one day we will wake up and our future will be clear?
What if it doesn't?
Our future begins here, it begins now. God has so much for us right now, and though yes, it's so important to be cautious and careful of the decisions we make in life - THIS is where God has us, HERE is where He has placed us, NOW is when we are to be who we are called to be. His plan for us is HERE and NOW. If we are constantly living in the future, we will miss so much of what God has for us here and now... Being completely honest and transparent - I have found myself in this position many times, and sometimes still do. Someone just challenged me on this today!

Looking back over the past few months I have seen so much of God's providence and grace in my life - seen Him work, seen His hand, and known that I have been able to bring (even if it was in some small way) change to this hurting world. There is a time when we realize that our own seemingly small hardships pale in comparison to those around us. How often do we look at our present situation and complain that we don't have it as good as we think it should be. When all around us there are people that under their tough skin are totally falling apart, because they don't have the One to pick them up again. I want to be used to bring people to Him, to find rest for their weary souls, and healing to their broken hearts and lives. 
So many people walk around as though they're the only ones in the world, so desperately alone - when there is Someone who cares so very much for them. Maybe they've been rejected, maybe they've been thrown out, or maybe they just don't feel good enough to be loved. However, everyone needs love, everyone needs to know there is someone that simply cares for them. God has been showing me so much of this in the last couple months, more then I understood before as I've been able to see into so many different lives. As people open up and share "their" story - I keep hearing it over and over again "I just want someone to care". It has been a growing season of life, but also humbling when I see how I've taken for granted my whole life how always having my Heavenly Father by my side every step is a total foreign thought to some - incomprehensible. As we begin to look at people through His eyes of love - a whole new world opens up - and He is able to love through us, and His joy spill from our spirits!
Father of the fatherless, defender of the weak. Freedom for the prisoner, we sing. This is God clothed in love and strength, With us in the wilderness, faithful to provide. Every breath and every step, we sing. This is God in His holy placed, clothed in love and strength. There is none higher, there is none greater, there is no stronger... Than our God. 

So dear friends - look around you, look for those who need HIS love, it might just come through you!

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...

Baptiste Lake- 2013

Once again this summer we were blessed to be able to spend a week up on Baptiste Lake. Chris was able to come up for the first part of the week and Mark the end - so thankful that both special guys were able to be a part of it this summer:)  Didn't get a lot of good pictures this summer, but here you can see the two cottages we stayed in!  The beautiful lake  At the locks we learned "Everyone wants everything for free" - hey Aaron:)  When we got there we realized we didn't know the code for the cottage and the rental place was already closed down for the night or so we though - it wasn't technically a break in  - we just had to go through the window  Generally every summer we find our way to Eagles Nest - always such a lovely spot to lookout!  Making my mark in the wood:)  The love-birds  Have some interesting poses You can kind of see the look-out from this picture - the scenery up there is beaut...
