FEEDBACK
We’re so honored that you joined us, and we’d appreciate if you take a few moments to give us some authentic feedback.
Answered Prayers:
Gentlemen - I wanted to include this timelapse video of the West Peak because it was the fourth of four minor things for which Jeremy and I prayed and were so thankful when God answered “yes.”
That the first night would be clear skies during Jeremy’s talk. — It looked to be socked in until we sat down after cleaning dishes, then we got that wonderful moonlit walk & conversation under the stars.
That if at all possible, the trail to Comanche Bluff would be open on the 1st afternoon. — In the morning, all trails were closed. At noon, they decided to open ONLY the trail that we needed, and we had a wonderful time up on the bluff talking about Moses.
That the West Peak trail would open for the long solo. — At noon on the 3rd day, the park office decided to re-close the trail we used the previous day, and open ONLY the West Peak & Wilderness Loop area.
That the sun would come out & warm those on the peak. — I was all the way out at the old goat shed and I felt the impulse to pray that anyone on the West Peak would get to experience.
Sometimes the Little Things Matter
For me, that light hitting the West rim of the peak was a reminder that just as the light & warmth of the sun is real & active all the time, God is good all the time, even when life, hardship, distraction… clouds out my view.
God cares about the little things. He cares about you.
We hope the timelapse of shadows & light rolling over the peak is a reminder to you. We are praying for you! Feel free to drop us a line & let us know how to pray.
Yours in Christ,
