I woke up this morning feeling crummy, achy, icky and Satan told me to stay in bed.  This was my last free day before beginning leading projects this summer.  I had planned on driving 2 1/2 hours to Broken Arrow Bible Ranch, one of my newest ministry partners, and see the campers enjoying the camp's activities.  Then I was going to go on to my other newest ministry partner in Sanders, AZ and go riding with her.  Satan told me that it was too far to drive, that it wasn't "official business for AIM" so I didn't need to do it, that I needed to stay in bed and rest, that I wasn't feeling well enough to ride a horse.

 

Everything in me agreed with him, I really wanted to stay in bed.  But, Satan is such a liar.  And since I know full well that Satan is a liar, I listened to the other voice in my head that told me to "get up and go," that "today was going to be a good day".  And of course, that other voice was the Holy Spirit talking to me.  And, of course, He was right.  Today was a good day and I would have missed it if I had listened to Satan.

 

What a delight to be at Broken Arrow Bible Ranch watching and talking with the campers.  As I went from activity to activity, everyone was smiling, enjoying themselves, happy to be at camp.

So proud of the picture frame that she painted.

Learning to shoot a bow and arrow.

Playing Human Foosball and loving it.

Racing against time to win a prize.

So happy to be up on a horse.

What a treat to be able to go out on a ride with the campers.

My ministry partner training her horse to jump.

Moonlight and me........she is a GREAT ride!

 

Wow!  Riding two different horses in one day, the Holy Spirit was so right, it was a GOOD day!  I feel like God reached down from heaven today and gave me a big HUG!  Thanks, God, for once again teaching me that obedience is all you want from me, and Thanks for blessing me for it.  To God Be The Glory!
