Day 14

I was debating whether or not to post for Saturday and Sunday, but I think I am going to skip them and start Day 14 today. I did have some awesome Praise time this weekend at Beulah but I did not get a chance to write anything out.

Today I am going to praise God for his little adventures. Saturday God took me on a little adventure to a little Island off of Beulah called Caton's Island, this is where they hold kids camp's all summer. This week the Smythe Street and Sunset Church have rented the Island and are holding there own kid's and youth camp. Last week at church I was talking to a lady and her husband and they were going down to be counsellors at the camp and I told them I was going down to Beulah and she thought I meant to Catons, and she said I knew you were going to be there. And of course God was in on this, so I spent last week praying about what my role was going to be at Caton's. So by Friday night God told me that I knew what my role was, so Saturday at 3pm came and I headed to the landing for Caton's, where you call for a boat to come and get you. Of course no one answered, so then I was like ok God, now what, I thought you wanted me on the Island, not overlooking the Island. So I went down and sat on some rocks and started praying and praising God, I heard his gentle voice saying get your bible. I went back to my car and started praying there, and then I heard God again saying open your Bible. I opened my Bible to:

Isaiah 42:10-17

Song of Praise to the Lord

10Sing to the LORD a new song,
his praise from the ends of the earth,
you who go down to the sea,
and all that is in it,
you islands, and all who live in them.

11 Let the desert and its towns raise their voices;
let the settlements where Kedar lives rejoice.
Let the people of Sela sing for joy;
let them shout from the mountaintops.

12 Let them give glory to the LORD
and proclaim his praise in the islands.

13 The LORD will march out like a mighty man,
like a warrior he will stir up his zeal;
with a shout he will raise the battle cry
and will triumph over his enemies.

14 "For a long time I have kept silent,
I have been quiet and held myself back.
But now, like a woman in childbirth,
I cry out, I gasp and pant.

15 I will lay waste the mountains and hills
and dry up all their vegetation;
I will turn rivers into islands
and dry up the pools.

16 I will lead the blind by ways they have not known,
along unfamiliar paths I will guide them;
I will turn the darkness into light before them
and make the rough places smooth.
These are the things I will do;
I will not forsake them.

17 But those who trust in idols,
who say to images, 'You are our gods,'
will be turned back in utter shame.

As I was writing this out in my prayer journal it turned 4 o'clock and I heard the boat starting up and I got a little excited I was going to Caton's Island. I really can't remember the last time that I was over to Caton's and I wasn't quite sure where I was headed so I just let the Lord lead me. The first stop was a little beach with a few big rocks so I sat on the rocks and finished writing the scripture's out, and then I took off and God lead me around the entire Island praying. It was quite amazing, I saw a rabbit in my path on one side and then on the other side there was a deer in my path, they both just stared at me for a minute before they took off running through the woods, what a beautiful time with God.

Sunday came and I thought Smythe Street was suppose to be at the landing for 5, so I went over to see them off, but of course they weren't there. So I sat there wondering if they were already over there or hadn't come yet. I was getting ready to leave and the boat came over, I was still sitting in the car, and no it's not a coincidence that the guy came off the boat up to my car to see if I was coming on the Island, I asked if Smythe Street was there yet, and no I wasn't going to go over. He said they were already over there. So he left and God said yes you are going over, so there I went. And then I headed down there again tonight after work for a couple of hours, not quite sure what the big picture is, I guess only God knows, and time will tell, I'm headed back again tomorrow night. So thanks again God, for taking me on little adventures and stretching me to become the woman that you want me to be, obedient and humble before you.
