LIstening to God on My Kayak

A perfect day for kayaking! A perfect way to find peace in the midst of the intensity of struggle on the sidewalks of the abortion centers lately. We always face adversity. Life is filled with adversity. Sometimes, however, the adversity is ferocious. That is the season we are in right now as laborers for Cities4Life ministry to abortion minded women. 

God prevails, His word is proclaimed, and we stand for the unborn in obedience to His call...but it has been more difficult than ever lately. Miracles still occur and many women still choose life and are grateful we are there. It is immensely rewarding to know that we are standing for something so critically important as the sanctity of every human life created by God.

But it is not always easy.

So the river which was remarkably devoid of many other boats was a balm to my soul. On the drive to the river, I heard a sermon about a ministry to troubled kids. The pastor described how the group sat in a big circle and did an exercise listening to God. I was very moved as I heard the stories of kids who did not know God trying to discern if what they heard in their heart and mind during that time was God speaking to them..

So as I kayaked, I listened to what God was trying to say to me. This video describes what I heard. I pray it will bless and encourage you all, especially those who are facing an upstream battle against the wind today.

And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.
