God Works

My friend Dave and I kayaking the Chain O' Lakes near Waupaca.

I spent some time reading through my journal this morning, entries from January 2020 to November 28, 2020. In hindsight, it is amazing to see how God worked, carefully orchestrated in such great detail, the necessary intricacies He used to break us away from our fleshly lives and draw us to himself.

God doesn't want to bless "my life". He wants to bless me, the redeemed, the crucified me, and he clearly has been doing so. He uses our time here to prepare us for the time to come, to be with Him. 

Scripture clearly states this, but a trip through my journal is mind boggling, just to see each thread of the tapestry God is weaving, and through hindsight, to be able to walk around the other side and see what the front of the tapestry looks like! Amazing! 

Praise the Lord for His mercy and love for us!

Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.  -  John 12:24

Aaarrrggghhh! Ahoy there, Matey! Shut your muffin, I'm the captain of this mighty tub! 

Learning to cook at Hartman Creek State Park, I made bacon wrapped pork tenderloin and corn on the cob. Delicious!
