Psalms 121:1-3 I lift up my eyes to the hills. Where will my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made Heaven and Earth. He will not let your foot be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber.
I am so glad God is never asleep and He is only a whisper away, just one prayer from answers just getting us out of bed and helping put one foot in front of the other. On July 19, 2024, I sat and reflected on the ten-year anniversary of my dad’s passing and realized it was monumental and a milestone marker for me. Six months before my dad’s passing, my husband of 20 years passed and 3 months before my husband, a beloved brother-in-law passed as well. Three men gone in a nine-month period all from stage four cancer. As I pondered this ten-year anniversary, I reflected on where I am now and the incredible journey of raising two young boys. Oh my how God showed up time after time with answers, encouragement, beautiful surprises and support never leaving our family’s side. He is definitely the God of all my days…the scenery and the beauty along the way as He ordered my minutes, my hours, helping me put one foot in front of the other. It has been a journey for me, and I am glad he took my hand and said, “Come on Tina…. Let’s Go!”
God doesn’t always move our mountains, but He picks us up out of the valleys and gives us the strength to climb…. impossible heights… walking with us each and every step.
Beginning to End
Sharing the most of my day
Not just the good parts – shiny edges – but the ugly, the sad, the lifeless clay
When I needed a special touch from the hand of my Master, but also those He sent my way
Opening up – sharing testimony – transparency
Climbing Mount Everest only to trudge back through the valley
Getting up… starting all over again
My communion and relationship with the Godhead, extended family and fruits and labors of feet and hands
It’s all about the climb… scenery along the way
The people I met and shared with
God’s purposes – His sovereignty
Pluses and minuses of the races I ran!
Stopping and starting includes
Rest – closed eyes – feet up
Refueling for the next leg and flight of our amazing climb
For tomorrow’s stepping-stones – babbling brooks – and Holy Spirit cloud breathed peaks
When it’s all said and done, I can honestly say,
“I fell, stumbled, made a wrong turn and lost my way”
But with outstretched arms and heart full of love…. He dusted me off with a whisper of,
“I love you; I am so proud! Let’s continue, start over, and try again.”
It’s All About You
It’s All About Me
Woven so beautifully, with the Father – Holy Spirit – our Master, Savior, and Lord
The King of Kings!
It’s all about the climb
Turning the next corner
Forging new undiscovered paths
Steadily climbing upwards heading to our ultimate final home!
You can come join at any time….
Are You Ready?
I Know I Am…. LET’S GO!
