Yesterday, Staci and I had a fun time with the Parkes Family.  The parallels between listening to our river guide, and listening to our Heavenly Father (Guide), are stunning.  Listening to Deniece, our river guide, was only part of what was needed on this wet journey.  Following her commands, in a timely manner, all together, and with energy allowed us to enjoy a GREAT adventure on the Arkansas River here in Colorado.  It’s a team effort.  We paddle, when we aren’t busy holding on.  Deniece steers and guides us through.

One thing I’m learning on my journey is this.  My Spiritual Journey is not a God and me…….  It’s a God and We!  You and I have other folks in our “boats” don’t we?

When asked if she could manage this trip without “our help”,(we paddle the boat sorta’), her reply gave me lots of insight.  She said, ” Yes, I can maneuver this boat down the river, but I need and want you guys to join in.

Do you ever think God needs and wants you to join in?   Why?  Why does an Almighty God need and want us to join Him?  Because, He wants and needs your life in Him to be personal.  It’s intimate.  It’s a true relationship.  It’s your decision.  “Grab a paddle!”
