It's been a while

Well I'm back. The Lake Nac trip was a great success. We had a great time with the students and the boats seemed to be on the water the whole time. As for me, well I had a great time with the students and I made some good friends. The weather took it's tole on me. I slept in the back of the truck and I though that I had enough blankets to stay warm at night. I found out the hard way the first night that I was wrong. We had about a 50 degree temperature difference every night. It would be 100' in the afternoon and as son as the sun went down it got cold quick. Most mornings I would wake up with it being in the low 50'.

I was asked to do a devotional on the first morning; I had an idea on what I wanted to speak on but wasn't sure how I was going to deliver it. Long story short, I spoke about how we can only find true innocence though Christ and that we were all gathered there for no reason. This was also a somber trip for me. It was on the lake trip last year that I realized that my Mom who was in a hospital in New Mexico wasn't going to live much longer. This year on the trip, she was on my mind the whole time. This Sunday will mark the the first year since my Mom had gone to be with the Lord.

I'm taken back every day with the work Christ has done with me and my family. I don't know what my future holds. I'm not sure where my Job will go in the next year. I don't know how I'm going to be able to pay my bills once Misty stops working. I hope that I can count on my faith and relationship with my creator to get me through what is in store for me and my family.

Now what dose my faith have to do with the lake trip??? I want to be what I preach. That is, I want to live the same words that are coming out of my mouth. I find that God tends to speak to me during these times. I'm listening.......
