WALKING BY FAITH - I KEEP CLIMBING

LIFE IS TO BE LIVED 

  Life is to be lived, one

          step, one corner 

          at a time until

We arrive at the crest.

        Wistfully looking at

         the horizon below

And before, one step 

         begins the descent 

                around 

                          and 

                  down,

All the while remembering 

        the splash of colors,

        the shadows and shapes

         the hint of glory to come.

Life is to be lived, until

       we reach our Destiny, 

       Home with the Father 

       at last.   Then LIFE  really 

        begins.

                          June Estelle Cash   May 30, 1991

         Some years back, when my husband candidated for a number of churches out in the Northwest, we went to Surprise Valley, coming down from Oregon into California by way of Fandango Pass.   It was a road that was built for the wagons - it zigzagged down in order to give a horse driven wagon a way to go down.

It was there that a massacre occurred many years ago.   But it was a most interesting unforgettable drive down this road for me.   

         This poem which I wrote later expresses how I feel about Life in what seems to be a precarious experience at times.

          

Goose lake is a lake which is boundaried by both 

California and Oregon.

In order to come from Klamath Falls, OR 

we came down on 

Fandango Pass. 

Here is another shot from Cedarville CA

of the Mountains down which we came.

Here we can see Goose Lake from the trail.

In this map, you can see how we

came down.   The view is wonderful, but

expect to be s l o w  in driving down

this pass.   It is not a highway.

Goose lake is in both states.

If you ever go there, it is well worth the trip.  

We went to Fort Bidwell.  You can see from this map just how close it is here.   Very interesting to find OLD WEST 

life still pretty much life here.

Fort Bidwell   Not big, but nice. 

Most of the way the road looks like this,

but this is more level than on higher.  

The rocks speak of God's glory - with shapes here that make me think of huge turtles that were petrified in the aftermath of the  flood.

Here is the Surprise Valley - Cedarville Community Church.

It seemed it was "way out in the middle of nowhere" 

Everyone was happy to see us, and Henry preached,

and I taught the children in S. S.  while he taught the adults.

We went there just that one time.

This link will take you to the Restaurant where we 

ate going there and going back to Lakeview Or.

It was so fascinating to watch an empty road become full of trucks 

and one by one and sometimes 50 people came in at once 

while eating, I observed that everyone was taken care of.

A very good restaurant this was, and I found it on line,

so I am sharing with anyone who is 

interested. 

What a wondrous message in God's Word!

My sins are blotted out, I know ! 

If I trust in His redeeming blood,

My sins are blotted out, I know!

My sins are blotted out, I know !

My sins are blotted out, I know !

They are buried in the depths of the deepest sea:

My sins are blotted out, I know!

Once my heart was black, but now what joy,

My sins are blotted out, I know !

I have peace that nothing can destroy, 

My sins are blotted out, I know!

I shall stand some day before my King,

My sins are blotted out, I know !

With the ransomed host I then shall sing

My sins are blotted out, I know !

My sins are blotted out, I know !

My sins are blotted out, I know !

They are buried in the depths of the deepest sea:

My sins are blotted out, I know!

Walking by faith - I keep climbing,  my blogs are listed on the blog links.    Also I have linked many places for you to explore even here on the vast internet for Bible sites I recommend.  

Psalms 62.8

Trust in Him at all times; ye people, pour out 

your heart before Him, God is a refuge 

for us.  Selah.  (Think about it.)

WALKING BY FAITH - I KEEP CLIMBING

WHEN THE RAIN FALLS

WHEN THE RAIN FALLS TODAY

WE HAVE THE RECORD OF THE TIME WHEN THE WHOLE EARTH WAS FLOODED IN THE BIBLE - GOD'S HOLY WORD.   DID YOU KNOW ? THAT NO MATTER WHAT PEOPLE OR NATION YOU LOOK INTO, THERE IS SOME RECORD OF A FASHION OF THIS FLOOD.  

             MANY NATIONS DO REMEMBER THAT TIME.

              LET US THINK ABOUT THAT FOR A MOMENT.

   HOW MUCH WAS THERE TO PROVE THAT NAPOLEON BONAPARTE FELL IN THE BATTLE?   ONLY A SMALL SCRAP OF PAPER.    BUT IT WAS ENOUGH TO CHANGE THE WORLD AT THAT TIME.

               LET US ALSO THINK ABOUT NOAH.  HIS FATHER WAS LAMECH AND HIS GRANDFATHER WAS METHUSELAH.   

               IT IS RECORDED THAT ENOCH WAS THE FATHER OF METHUSELAH.    IN THE HEBREW "METHU" =  DEATH 

OF HIM,  AND "SELAH"  = THINK ABOUT IT.   

               SO - WHEN HIS NAME WAS GIVEN, HIS FATHER ENOCH WAS TELLING WHO EVER HEARD THE NAME - WHEN HE DIES, THINK ABOUT IT.     SELAH MEANT - REST -  TO PAUSE, STOP, THINK ON IT.   

                THE RAINS WILL NEVER EVER FLOOD AGAIN LIKE IT DID IN THAT TIME.   HOWEVER, THAT DOES NOT RULE OUT SMALL FLOODS AND CATASTROPHES.   

                 IF YOU ARE CURIOUS - LOOK INTO THE BOOK OF GENESIS AND READ THE FIRST 9 CHAPTERS.  IT COVERS FROM THE BEGINNING TO THE END OF THE FLOOD, WHEN NOAH AND HIS FAMILY FOUND A VERY DIFFERENT WORLD THAN THE ONE THEY HAD BEFORE THE FLOOD.

                 

 

                   IT WAS 120 YEARS IN THE MAKING - THIS ARK - AND THEN WHEN THE RAINS CAME - IT WAS A FULL YEAR AFTER NOAH ENTERED THE ARK WITH HIS FAMILY THAT THE GROUND WAS DRY ENOUGH FOR THEM TO LEAVE.   

                    YOU ASK  "HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?"

                    "WHAT EVIDENCE DO WE HAVE OF THIS?"

I GIVE YOU A LINK TO KEN HAM'S ANSWERS IN GENESIS.

DO SEARCH IT OUT.    

           ALSO I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THAT THIS IS MY 

           VIEW: 

       THE BIBLE IS OUR LETTER FROM GOD.

        IT NEVER TRIES TO PROVE HE EXISTS.

        IT ASSUMES THAT HE IS, AND THAT HE WAS, AND THAT HE ALWAYS WILL BE.

       THE BIBLE PRESENTS WHO GOD IS IN RELATION TO YOU AND ME - MANKIND - AND WHAT HE DID TO GIVE US THE RIGHT TO BECOME HIS CHILDREN.

biblebuffjournal99 - I AM A PILGRIM - GOD'S WORD MY MAP AND GUIDE

WALKING BY FAITH - I KEEP CLIMBING

I AM A PILGRIM 

WHEN NOAH ENTERED THE ARK, GOD SHUT THE DOOR.

                HE WAS SAFE INSIDE, WITH HIS WIFE, WITH HIS SONS, AND WITH THEIR WIVES.  EIGHT PEOPLE.

  

            I AM SAFE INSIDE THE "ARK OF SAFETY" FOR I HAVE PLACED MY FAITH IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST FOR MY SALVATION.   IT IS BY HIS UNDESERVED FAVOR IN MY LIFE, THAT I HAVE RECEIVED FROM HIM, THE CLEANSING OF MY SOUL FROM ALL SIN, AND I AM NOW BOUND FOR HEAVEN AS A PILGRIM.

         

KEN HAM - ANSWERS IN GENESIS - KIDS

INSTRUCTIONS FOR A PILGRIM: 

   TRAVEL LIGHT.

                 HEBREWS 12. 1,2   

               "Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, dispising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God."  

     

        I MUST KNOW WHO I AM.  I walk ever onward, shining His light in the darkness.   

             John 17.20   Jesus prayed "neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word."   

             John 10.27 "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me."   As a member of His flock, I know His voice, and will follow Him.

   

Wherever we roam

We may call it HOME

Mountains and lakes

Rivers and streams

Valleys and meadows

Shadows and sunlight

              I John 4.15  "Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God."  

              John 8.12 "I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." 

    I MUST KNOW MY KING.  - The Shepherd. -  Wherever, whatever happens as I pilgrim in this world, Jesus is the King of my life.  He is with me wherever I am.

                John 10.14   "I am the good Shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine."   John 10. 4 "And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice."

                 John 17.3   "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent."   

Abraham left Ur knowing God had promised

a place.  

     I MUST KNOW WHERE I AM GOING.   

         Hebrews 11.10  By faith Abraham..."looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God." 

          John 14.3   "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself: that where I am, ye may be also."   

      I MUST KEEP THINGS IN PERSPECTIVE.  

          I Peter 3.14,15   But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled, but sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear."  

         John 2.14  "Whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst: but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life."    

        I MUST BANK ON GOD'S PROMISES TO BE WITH ME IN EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO ME.

         Romans chapter 8.14 "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God."    

         Romans 8.28 "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His Purpose."   

         John 6.39   "And this is the Father's will that sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day."  

               I MUST DRESS APPROPRIATELY FOR 

                     THE JOURNEY.     

           Ephesians 6: 10 - 20   Put on my spiritual armor

           Matthew 6.33    Seek God first 

            Matthew 7.1 - 12   Keep the right attitude

          I MUST KNOW WHERE MY RESOURCE IS FOUND.

             Galatians 2.20 God's Faith in me.

              Philippians 4.13   For anything God asks me to do, He will enable.

              Ephesians 2.14 - 18   

                            He will give peace, because He is peace.  

           TRUSTING THAT I WILL ARRIVE AT

            MY FINAL DESTINATION, I CHOOSE TO PUT

             MY RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD ABOVE EVERY

             OTHER RELATIONSHIP.

      Colossians 2.6,7 

                     AS YOU HAVE THEREFORE RECEIVED 

CHRIST JESUS THE LORD, SO WALK YE IN HIM, ROOTED AND BUILT UP IN HIM, AND STABLISHED IN THE FAITH AS YE HAVE BEEN TAUGHT, ABOUNDING THEREIN WITH THANKSGIVING.  

            IN MY NEXT POST, I WILL SHARE MORE ABOUT  THE PILGRIM JOURNEY.

Living Today and Tomorrow 

Finances 

by Wm. H. Cash, Jr. 1949 

1927 - 2002  

The progress many students make in college is affected

in some way or other 

by the problem of finances.

--- There are two types of college loans
Short Term, and Long Term.

      It is unwise for college students

to depend upon loans for 

all his college education.

The part-time employer should be fair

to the student as as the student being

fair to the employer.

It is an established fact that in vocational guidance, that occupational interest persiststhroughout life.    Since most social workers arewomen, men have many opportunities for advancement to executive positions.

[Somewhat outdated - but at the time, true]

Health services are the most needed in our nation.

The ministry on the whole is a very low paid profession, how there is considerable stratification, similar to teaching. More than one third of workers in the U S A
                            are unskilled.  [This statistic may be outdated.]

Young people should never be blindly 

guided by their parents in choosing a

vocation.

 One danger many young people have

is that of drifting, with nothing in view 

that he / she is preparing for.

1. The college student should major in the subject that
2. will help him in his future vocation.

HENRY'S THOUGHTS ON THE FACTS

One should depend on God for his needs.

We must not become lazy, for God

 has given us our physical 

structure, our abilities, and our talents 

to be used for His glory.

A young person should get 

the highest preparation before he can

expect to have the highest opportunities 

for advancement.
