Well, they have cancelled the Easter egg hunt. The director called me pretty bummed. He felt like our addition would really benefit the event. He asked us to please try to work with them again on something. I mentioned Super Day (the last Saturday day in June the Parks and Rec does a HUGE event, literally thousands of Cheyenne folks come out to the park for this event) as something we’d like to be involved in. Said we’d like to offer a whole set of inflatable games for that. He loved that idea and said it sounds like that would be a “Feature Event”. Maybe the Lord has that in store for us. We ran 2 ads in the paper this week for the egg hunt and had more hits on our site in one day than ever before. So, that got us some exposure. Anyway, thanks to all you who prayed. We trust that God has something else in store for us. We really felt good about this event but we feel even greater about our Lord. “The Lord’s plans stand firm forever; his intentions can never be shaken” (Psalm 33:11)
Unless you become like these little children…
6 04 2007Words spoken by Christ to his followers was shown today in the hearts of my children. I love our kids. They can be absolutely INSANE, A LOT, but I wouldn’t trade it for the world. At our evening meals each night we try and read a Bible story and each person around the table prays for someone in our lives. Many times Sabrina and I just laugh at how happy God’s heart must feel when he hears children pray, it’s so special. Well today, we were looking at a snow covered ground, wondering if it will clear up enough to do our servant project at the city Easter egg hunt tomorrow. I fully trust that God can change the weather regardless of what Jeff Matthews predicts as chief meteorologist of KGWN News Channel 5 here in Cheyenne. I called Pete at Fun On The Go to see what the latest time is we could cancel without paying for the full event. Dan, at the Parks and Rec Department, is waiting to see what happens through the day before he makes a decision. While I am on the phone, getting info, asking about cancellation, Jonah asked Sabrina if we could pray for God to change the weather. His motive is so we can have all 4 inflatable games and not just 1 if we go indoors, BUT, he fully believes that God can do it. Do I? Do you? Do we REALLY believe God can do anything? Do we ask God with expectancy of what He can do? I hope we do more often than not, but I have to admit that sometimes I haven’t. We ask with a “probably not” mentality rather than “probably so”. Anyway, we gathered together and Makalah prays in her sweetest Makalah voice: “Dear Jesus, pray for Easter….Amen”. I know the Holy Spirit took those words straight to the throne of God and interceded on behalf of our daughter. WOW, how cool is that? May we (I) have the faith of a child (Makalah, Jonah, Mariah). It was a great teaching moment for me. Not to teach, but to be taught!
Following Christ,
Jeff
