Alberta Trip!!





Family, how are you all doing? I just came back from a short trip to Alberta where the Lord just blessed my boots off!! I was in West Edmonton on August 15th where I had the honor of sharing at Victory Church on the Rock. Pastor Jonathan Krenz and his family were the ultimate hosts and it was a real blessing to get to know them as well as his Church family.
On the 16th I took a bus to Red Deer and then got picked up by Peter and met his wife Wanda later that night. We camped by the Red Deer river, rode their 3 horses for a couple days on some spectacular trails, ate some unreal food and just had great Christian fellowship.
Living like a cowboy for a couple days was a dream come true, so here are a few shots from that experience.
I pray that all who read this would fall in love with Jesus more and more!!

Anybody weary?!!!



If somebody were to ask me that I would raise both hands in the air and say "YES!!" As Christians who are living lives of faith and constantly going against the grain of this world, becoming weary is just a fact of life.
The Lord Jesus says, " Come to me all you who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest." What a promise!! What an awesome word from the Lord that gives us hope for the future!! When we come to the Lord in humility, with surrendered wills, and just begin to spend time with our Creator, He will give us rest!! Peace of mind is restored, heaviness is restored with Joy, bitterness is replaced by forgiveness and we can just 'LIVE' like we were meant too!
If you haven't come to the Lord lately in an intentional way, I really encourage you to take time out of your busy day to do that!
Blessings
