El Elyon, the Most High God

I am so grateful to live in the beautiful Rocky Mountains. There is such grandeur here that refreshes my soul. When I walk this land I feel God's presence & my senses are awakened within me. I connect to God this way. This is when I raise my hands in worship & find such freedom to be myself & feel fully alive. I speak out my desires & prayers & call on El Elyon, the Most High God, & I know that He hears me. I treasure these moments of intimacy. "So I went with Him & when we were climbing the rocky steps up the hillside, my Beloved said...Let Me see your face, let me hear your voice, for your voice is sweet and your face is lovely." Song of Solomon 2:14

Full Moon Rising

Like the light reflected in this full moon over my home on Gore Pass so my life is a reflection of God's light upon me. The more I spend time in His presence, the more I reflect God's light. When Moses asked for God to show him His Glory, the skin of his face shone...that is my prayer, to know God & be a reflection of His glory so that others may know Him. "You will show me the path of Life; in Your presence is fullness of joy, at Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore." Psalm 16:11

From the Rising of the Sun to It's going Down

When I am finally still & away from life's distractions, I embellish my soul in the beauty of a sunset over the Caribbean. The joy of my spirit cannot be contained & I cry out in Praise to my God, the Creator of the Universe: "Praise the Lord! Praise O servants of the Lord, Praise the name of the Lord! Blessed be the name of the Lord, From this time forth and forevermore! From the rising of the sun, to it's going down, the Lord's name is to be praised." Psalm 113:3

Arise and Shine

Arise and Shine...to new life, be radiant with the glory of the Lord, for your light has come & the Glory of the Lord has risen upon thee. For behold, darkness shall cover the earth & dense darkness the people, but the Lord shall arise upon you & His Glory shall be seen on you. And nations shall come to your light & kings to the brightness of your rising. Isaiah 60:1-3

Expression Of Light & Color

In my Dream Class, there is an amazing quote in our book by Bill Johnson that says, "The result of a transformed mind is that the impossible becomes logical." Looking at this one white Lupine standing out alone amongst all the blue, it makes me think of how God can make what seems impossible in my life, possible. Here, God orchestrates a beautiful symphony of color & light. In my own life, I too can be an expression of His color & light. My life with God is a garden, filled with His Glory, He is tending to, so lovingly & wisely. "I am my Beloved's {garden} & my Beloved is mine!" Song of Solomon 6:3

Grandchildren Moab 2011

Having my grandchildren reminds me of how I can overcome obstacles. When I see them struggling & wanting to give up, I encourage them that they 'Can do it, and they do it." We all need someone to cheer us on when we feel like giving up. I enjoy watching children's movies that obviously have a big people message in it such as 'A Bugs Life'. When Flick feels like a failure because he thinks outside the box & believes in ideas & doing things differently, he has to go through some pretty disappointing things that don't work, however, there is courage in his heart & he is the only ant who stands up to 'Hopper', the big bully grasshopper. After being laughed at, rejected, shunned, punched, kicked & called 'lower than dirt, a little ant named 'Dot' is the one who believes in him and doesn't give up. Flick rises to the challenge and says the unspeakable, 'Ants are not meant to serve grasshoppers. It's the grasshoppers who need the ants". The other ants hear his courage & courage rises up in them & they too believe. Overcoming is a wonderful thing. We need each other to believe when we cannot & to see things differently. That's what life is all about! Believing, overcoming & living a life that we love & are passionate about. "If you had faith, trust, confidence in God even so small like a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, 'Be pulled up by the roots, and be planted in the sea', and it would obey you". Luke 17:6

KCC Stained Glass Window

Kremmling Community Church celebrated it's 100th year birthday last June, 2011. I am privileged to be a part of this family of believers. They welcomed my husband & I, 2 years ago with warm, loving, arms & have embraced us in life's difficulties & in celebration. I am sharing one of many beautiful stained glass windows that I have come to enjoy as I worship here. The presence of God fills the sanctuary & I am filled with His Peace. Here, I am free to express His Glory. Like King David of old, I dance before the Lord with all my heart & I am glad! Psalm 150
