Week 5!

Its WEEK 5 Everyone! This means I only have one more week of SAIL once this week past. Part of me is celebrating while another part of me is saying no I want to stay longer! Hahahaha
Anyways I have definitely taken my weekend to rest. Thank you for all your prayers. I am still alive, healthy, and for the most part happy. My eyes are still a little red (due to lack of sleep and being in the sun), my body a bit sore, but everything is good (once I get my math together for my kids this week :p).

So last Sunday I went back to Abundant Life Church and the pastor was talking about walking with God and how Enoch walked with God and then He took him away. I never really looked into that passage deeply, but there is so much more to those few verses of Enoch. Well, the Pastor ended with the story of his daughter (as a child at the time) going to the basement with him in the dark when a storm threw out the power. She was holding his hand and following his every step through the dark basement. He tied this into how when we begin walking with God, we can hold His hand and He will walk us through the dark....

I don't really know what happened this past week, perhaps just all the chaos and non-stop action from the kids and life problems, but the stories of Enoch and this pastor with his daughter stayed in my heart. With the rest I got from this past weekend, I had the chance to really reflect on it. I realized (as I woke up this morning) that sometimes we know where we are going with God and sometimes we really don't know where we are going, but the most important thing is that we are holding onto Gods hand and letting Him take the lead. We step where he steps, we go where He goes, and we remember that He is holding our hand through it all. I feel like when I go home (in just a few weeks eeek!) I don't need to worry about where I am going in life. As long as I am holding His hand, my heavenly father is going to take me exactly where He wants me to be. It's good to know I got somebody's hand to hold onto as I venture into life.

Here are the lyrics to a very encouraging song that I happened to just come about this morning. I think it speaks truth into my own life and hopefully yours to! Enjoy :) (Youtube it if you wanna listen to it. Its a beautiful song)
You Are Still Holy
 Holy, You are still holy
Even when the darkness surrounds my life
Sovereign, You are still sovereign
Even when confusion has blinded my eyes
Lord, I don't deserve Your kind affection
When my unbelief has kept me from Your touch
I want my life to be a pure reflection
Of Your love
And so I come into Your chamber
And I dance at Your feet, Lord
You are my Saviour
And I'm at Your mercy
All that has been in my life
Up 'til now
It belongs to You
You are still holy
Holy, You are still holy
Even though I don't understand Your ways
Sovereign, You will be sovereign
Even when my circumstances don't change
Lord, I don't deserve your tender patience
When my unbelief has kept me from Your truth
I want my life to be a sweet devotion
To You
And so I come into Your chamber
And I dance at Your feet, Lord
You are my Saviour
And I'm at Your mercy
All that has been in my life
Up 'til now
It belongs to You
I belong to You
And so I come into Your chamber
And I dance at Your feet
You are my Saviour
And I'm at Your mercy
All that has been in my life
Up 'til now
It belongs to You
I belong to You
You are still holy
You are still sovereign
You are still holy, Lord
You are still righteous
You are all-knowing
You are still holy
