EPIC Journey

From my earliest recollections, I remember my mother encouraging me that I could do anything I put my mind to. She and dad lived believing for God's provision. Their life was a living testimony of God's grace. It was their faith that trained me in believing God could and would move mountains. Some say moving mountains is symbolic of the need to have God in your life to move figurative mountains. Some believe the Word refers to moving actual mountains. I believe it is all that and more. God certainly has no limitations.

"I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you". Matthew 17:20

Early in adult life, I read "Hinds Feet on High Places". As I recall, the thought is communicated that we walk on slippery slopes. I remember thinking it was my desire to live life at the peak of slippery slopes. One misstep to the right or left meant disaster. Only a total sold out commitment to Christ would allow me to walk on the peak and not slip off the slope. That is the life I desired then and still desire now.

"The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds' feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places." Habakkuk 3:19

I have always set goals that seemed unreachable to others. If I believed in moving mountains with the faith of a mustard seed and the promise that God will make me able to walk on slippery slopes, it seems silly to live a predicable life with no need for God. It seems more sensible to stretch ones' faith and strive after those things that are only attainable with the help of God.

At times God surrounded us with the greatest of joys and other times life was engulfed in darkness. At all times, God was there encouraging us to seek the abundant life He had promised. I hope you will enjoy reading events of our life that demonstrate God's hands-on approach to encouraging us to live life to the fullest. I pray opening our life to you might encourage your EPIC journey.
