Love on The Water

I am in humble Gratitude to God every day, but especially when He is with me on the water.  You see, in 2005 while my mother was lying in a hospital bed nearing the end of her life here, my husband at the time had just left us and I was sitting on the edge of the Columbia River with my two young sons in Richland watching & listening to the jet skis – my heart in total despair, crying and wondering if I’d ever get to actually play on the water like that again…

I so wanted to be able to do the thing I loved most to do and had done 14 years prior – Jet Ski!  Though I had the funds many times previously to purchase a ski, I had patiently waited so that I could enjoy the time with my sons rather than leave them on the shore watching.  Yet as my life seemingly took a turn for the worse – I could not help watching the 550 SX’s and sobbing to the Lord.

Through months of many changes, I waited, and cried to the Lord.  Then in 2009 – God Blessed me beyond measure and it was time!  It took me awhile to find the exact ski that I had always wanted: 1992 550 SX with the Reed Motor – stock ski.  A few short months later – I found the Yamaha WaveBlaster II for my sons to ride — and we were ON THE WATER by August 2009.

I can honestly tell you that my first time out on my Jet Ski on Lake Tapps – I cried, and cried all the way across the lake!  I could not thank God enough!  Two Eagles came and flew with me (this has happened several times now in various places – including where these photos were taken) for about a mile or so.  I believe that it was God’s way of saying, “I Love You” and letting me know that my Mom & Dad were near and watching over me smiling.

Yesterday, I was again blessed to be out on the water with my sons on Lake Tapps.  I cannot ride my ski without praising and thanking God – and yes, crying each time.  Tears of Joy, rejoicing in the goodness of God’s Love – it is my ‘church’ – I see Him and hear Him very clearly each time I am out on the water.

Today, I encourage you — HOLD  ON TO YOUR DREAMS — through your tears and trials — BELIEVE!  He wants the best for you – and He will give it to you when the time is right.  This dream fulfilled means MORE to me being able to do it all WITH my sons than it ever would have meant being able to do it alone. God’s timing really is PERFECT!

If you happen to see me out on the water — know that my spirit and soul are dancing for joy each and EVERY time!

Many Blessings,

Have Faith – God is Working!

While sitting with a friend yesterday she said, “I know they say that God won’t give you more than you can handle but sometimes I wonder”… as she put her head in her hands.  I too, have often wondered when going through my life experiences if God was giving me ‘more than I could handle’.  Through many situations, I even wondered if He was hearing me at all?

However, I have learned through my life experiences, that it is in fact true – God is always near, He is always listening, and He always answers.  Sometimes the answer is ‘Yes’, sometimes the answer is ‘No’, and sometimes it is ‘Not Now’ – but He always answers in one form or another.

Today I would like to encourage you that no matter what you are going through you can cast your cares upon Him, and He will carry you through to a brighter tomorrow.  He has not left you, if it is quiet in your world – know that He is working and if you will simply put your trust in Him – it will all work out.

Many Blessings,

You say there are no miracles

You tell me not to pray

You don’t believe in God

Or that he is here today

 

I tell you look again my friend

Look hard and really see

There are many miracles happening today

God is very near you and me

 

The car that rolls several times

As it is crushed to cold flat steel

And the one who crawls out without a scratch

I tell you GOD IS REAL!

 

The one who wants to take their own life

They cannot go on today

Somehow the plan fails

And then they find a way

 

You say there are no angels

They surely can’t be real

What about the car that missed you

And the peace you suddenly feel?

 

You tell me that the Bible is just a book

And Jesus only history

I tell you that HE is real

And you better look and see

 

When you stop and listen long enough

You will KNOW the things I say

Are not just “fate” happenings

For Jesus lives today!!!

Thank Him Too

Comments Off on Thank Him Too

It wasn’t always easy to go the extra mile

To hold your hand or hug you

Or wear for you a smile

 

Through nights of tears, to stay awake, sometimes seemed so hard

To sort through troubles inch by inch

Seemed more like yards and yards

 

But Jesus said, “Hang in there Robin, I need you to obey,

Give this one my love

For she needs you much today.

 

I will be there too, and together we will teach

Then I have others for you to love

And many goals for you to reach.”

 

“Ok Lord”, I said through tears my own, “but I am lonely too”

“Do for these”, he replied with a hug

“Then I shall do for you.”

 

So I stood up tall and took his hand, I said, “ok Lord – let’s go”

We marched together day by day

Little did you know

 

As I had all the answers to your problems and they faded away fast

It was really He who guided me

And threw your troubles past

 

For I know not what the future holds in store for me you see

My problems seem so great sometimes

I think, “where can He be?”

 

But I know because I love you in my heart and always will

That He will always guide me inch by inch

Or hill by hill

 

He told me not to judge you, or so I would be judged

So instead I truly loved you

As up your hills we trudged

 

I tried not to give opinions that would lead you to dismay

But asked Him to answer through me

And help me lead the way

 

As you thank me for all the things that I have done for you

I would like to ask only one thing

Please thank Jesus too.

Take The Chance

Comments Off on Take The Chance

Take the chance to feed one hungry person

Take the chance to hear one lonely cry

Take the chance to clothe one cold

Take the chance to tell one of Jesus – before they die

 

Take the chance to pray for one you do not know

Take the chance to smile at one who’s down

Take the chance to bring one into your home

Take the chance to be there for one – when there’s no one else around

 

Take the chance to stand up for one accused

Take the chance to give money to one in need

Take the chance to nurse one who is sick

Take the chance to be a friend for one – and help Jesus set them free

 

If we take the chance, just once – regardless of how uncomfortable it makes us, or how inconvenient it may be;  to help one of God’s children or his creatures, no matter how great or how small the deed;  the world would become a much brighter place.  For as you help one;  that one will help one;  who will help one, and as each life touches the other – love would beget love, hatred would be a thing of the past –  and heaven would be oh so full!!!

The Rainbow

Comments Off on The Rainbow

I cried to you in my heart today

And you showed me a rainbow and said,

“I Love You”.

 

I told you I was afraid to go further

And you showed me my true friends and said,

“I Love You”.

 

I said “Why am I here – who cares anyway”?

And you showed me a poem and said,

“I Love You”.

 

I cried “I am confused – please help me”

And you showed me my cat and said,

“I Love You”.

 

I said, “I am lonely and tired inside”

And you showed me a man disabled in a wheelchair and said,

“I Love You”.

 

I told you, “Though my heart is breaking, I will obey”

And you showed me the sunshine, the rain, the blue sky, the clouds, the people,

The animals, the water in the lake, and ….  The rainbow….  And you said,

“I Love You”.

And I thank you.
