**Summer**

Summer is on its way. Just wanted to update with some new pictures. We are going to have a busy busy summer with Kids Ramp next week and 4 Ramp Gathering from then until August. It will glorious watching thousands of people, young and old, getting back to the basics with the Lord and having the chains of bondage broken. I am sure this summer will produce many pictures!!! If you are this way, come see us!

"I need you"

“Momma,” in the small yet loud voice, Jaxson cried out for me. As I rounded the corner to his room, he said, “I need you.” He had woken up and just needed that comfort that I was there to love on him and lay beside him. To give him comfort that everything was ok and to just put my arms around him. As I was lying there, God begin to show me that this is who He is. He is our comfort in the darkness and when we are scared and not sure what to do or where to go and cant clearly see our way, all we have to do is call out for Him, “Daddy! I need you!” and there He will be, right beside us, to hold us, and give us the peace and comfort we need to make it through whatever it is we are battling with. Although I know this about Him, sometimes He likes to remind me that He loves me and cares for me more than I give Him credit for sometimes. Don’t get me wrong, I know He loves me but sometimes I just feel like I a very small part in the equation considering all the other important things that are going on in this world today. In this book I am reading, Radical, David Platt talks about how God is at the top of the mountain and we are at the bottom and our goal is to strive after Him but that God is God who doesn’t mind coming down off the mountain to come to us when we need Him. I love having that comfort in knowing my God loves me so much.

All you have to do is call out to Him and He will be right there to comfort you! Will you call for Him today?

Shake me God!!

Everyday I ponder about where am I and what am I doing? Too many times I get stuck in the wheel of doing the everyday things over and over and forget to stop and realize what God is up to and that I am apart of that. Not just here at the Ramp but on this earth. Anyone who calls themselves a “Christian” is being called to a deeper place with God everyday. Does our everyday walk and life reflect a true Child of God? Everyday we are supposed to seek Him more than the day before. We are called to be disciples first, then Christians. What did the disciples do? They left everything to follow after Jesus. They gave up everything to follow after something that they knew would change their lives. You may say well that was then and this is 2010. But really…the bible says that He is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow…Heb. 13:8. That means that what He called the people of the bible to live, talk, walk, and breath is same for us today. I just want to be shaken of everything but God. Wow what a statement. “don’t say that because oh the storms coming now.” Well if it means that God has all of me and that Holy Spirit is in complete control and there is no more of me, then SHAKE ME GOD, SHAKE ME!!!! Me hasn’t gotten me very far. I know that God can do so much more with me. I am about to start reading this book, Radical, by David Platt. And all I know is that I want to be Radical for Jesus. If that makes me jump, shout, speak with “funny noises,“ make decisions that don’t seem right, then I don’t care!!! I just want Him and all that I can have of Him! I want to be sooo full of God and Holy Spirit that when you look at me, all you can see is Him!!! He is my someone whom its worth it all to loose everything for!

Just my thoughts for now :D

Is Jesus someone worth giving it all up for or has He been made into your American Dream?
