classes and hike
Hi Everyone. I've survived my first full week of classes and think I may make it until next June. After the first couple of days I wasn't sure. My classes are beginning to take shape, but for the first couple of days it was quite a struggle with my Gr 8/9 Science/Math class. The week ended well however. I received about half of the stuff that I shipped earlier in July. Of course, I got my snowmobile which I won't be able to use for two months yet, but didn't get my dishes, cutlery, and some other essentials. I did get some kitchen stuff though, such as the bread maker. I got a loaf on right away! Today Paul Mooney and I went on another hike. We wanted to see where the sea goes through a narrow gorge before it gets to Reversing Falls on the Soper River. We saw it on the map and thought that it might make a good hike. Wow! What a sight. The tide was rushing upstream like a mighty river. I took a short video clip that I am going to try to put on the blog. Hope it works. If not I'll send some stills. We had a great day, and on the way back we hiked to the site of the sapphire explorations. Very interesting. Hope everything is going well with my friends back in the south. Till next time....(sorry the clip won't work)

God is Our Keeper
Deuteronomy 1:30-31
30'The LORD your God who goes before you, will Himself fight on your behalf, just as He did for you in Egypt before your eyes,
31and in the wilderness where you saw how the LORD your God carried you, just as a man carries his son, in all the way which you have walked until you came to this place.'
Often when we face trials, our first response is to find a way to change our circumstances. We try to plan or devise a quick, painless way through the difficulty. But God is our keeper.
He watches over us with great care, and His eyesight is not limited to the moment. He knows the way behind and before us. Nothing that comes our way is a surprise to the Lord.
Though there will be times when you may not understand His leading, go forward with Him. He only leads you along the paths that He has prepared for you. Before the battle of Jericho, God encouraged Joshua by saying, "Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go" (Joshua 1:9).
Amy Carmichael writes, "Thank God for the battle verses in the Bible. We go into the unknown every day of our lives and especially every Monday morning, for the week is sure to be a battlefield, outwardly, and inwardly in the unseen life of the spirit, which is often by far the sternest battlefield for souls. Either way, the Lord your God goes before you, He shall fight for you!"
As you begin your week, take comfort in the fact that God knows exactly what is up ahead, and He will be with you every step of the way. Whatever you face, He will provide the strength you need to emerge as a victor.
