On the Road Again!


It is Saturday night, and I am still trying to catch up on all that needs to be completed before my husband and I leave for a week trip into the mountains. I had good intentions to write a devotional for Spiritual Sunday before leaving, but it just is not going to happen.

We are traveling on business to the interior of British Columbia. Instead of a devotional here is another quote from Joyce Rupp to ponder:
"Without some quiet reflection, some solitude and stillness, our inner eyes will eventually be too blurred and weary to discover God in the rushing of our demanding days."

This quote sums up the theme for the last week of my life, in what I read, and experienced!

Please pray for my youngest son Mike, who arrived safely in St. Jean, Quebec today to start a 13 week training program in the Canadian Armed Forces. And for this mother who has had waves of emotions as she releases her baby. My prayer is that Mike will preserve when it gets tough and that he will make lasting friendships.

I will think of you not just this week but for all the weeks that Mike is training. My son still stands on the edges of signing up ...but the possibility is definately there.

I hope you enjoy your trip despite the ache inside

Hello my friends,

Mike safely arrived in St. Jean. There is 75 people taking the training. It was said that by the end of this week the number will be down to 60. Please pray my son will do well, and do his best, no matter what the results might be. It takes great courage to a least try and do your best! Murray and I are in the centre of B.C. and will be traveling down to the OK Valley in the next 24 hours. I will be visiting a close friend, then we will go to Revelstoke. Thanks for your prayers. Alle, I am praying and give thanks for all that God has done for your family. Rossel, and others who have commented, thank you for your love and encouragement. Clif you are a mentor in the writing process. Love robin

Hi Robin,
Thanks so much for the update you left on my blog. I've been praying everyday, so praise the Lord for programs such as the one you've mentioned.

Loved this post too. Lately I've been spending more time just sitting at Jesus feet, and enjoying His presence. There's no need to speak, just being with Him is enough. Just imagine what heaven's going to be like!

God bless :)
