If I rise on the wings of the dawn...

Ps 139:7-10 "Where can I go from Your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presense? If I go up to the heavens You are there; if I make my bed in the depths, You are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn; if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there Your hand will guide me, Your right hand will hold me fast!"

For those of you familiar with old hymns, the first one that popped into my mind as I awoke and took this picture yesterday morning... "When Morning Guilds The Sky... My heart awakening cries; May Jesus Christ be praised!" PILAT (language acquisition class) will end tomorrow. In addition to seeing the glory of the Lord reflected in the sky at sunrise(from my bedroom window!), our class has also seen it reflected in the beauty of His creating hand from the top of Pikes Peak to the Garden of the God's. After this beautiful sunrise, today we woke up to a blizzard which left at least 20 inches of snow on the ground! Tomorrow the temp. should be up to 50 and the snow will all melt before the weekend! I love that God changes everything, and yet He never changes!

May you remain secure in His faithfulness as changes happen all around you!

About me:

"This little light of mine..." At the age of 14, God's light found a home in my heart. During my high school years, the strong biblical principles I learned in youth group molded a deep faith that kept me close to the "Light of the World" as I raised 3 beautiful daughters.

"I'm gonna let it shine..." For 20 years God presented opportunities to shine His light into the lives of children through 5-Day Clubs in my backyard for neighbor children, Bible Study Fellowship, and teaching Jr. High Sunday School.

"Let it shine..." As a Discipleship Group leader and Sr. Staff on two Royal Servants short term missions, God's light transformed the students I worked with in Greece and The Gambia, West Africa, and renewed my vision to serve in full time missions.

"Let it shine, let it shine! " "The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers (90% Muslim population in The Gambia) so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God... For God, who said, 'Let light shine out of darkness,' made His light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ" (2 Corinthians 4:4,6). After 15 years as Human Resource Coordinator in the retail industry, God has given me the opportunity to shine for Him using my administration skills to assist the YFC ministry in The Gambia.

The Lord has commanded us, "I have placed you as a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth." This is my first post, and until I get this blog thing figured out... it will be a few days till I can do more...

God Bless,
