I know, it’s only Wednesday but I’m already wishing it were Friday, yesterday! Our church river trip is coming up this weekend which puts me out for a good week. There’s so much to get done with my new website, blog and branding! To top it off I got sick this past Sunday and am still feeling less that 100%. Now my wife, Erika, is starting to feel sick! And I still haven’t gotten the boat ready yet!
But that’s OK. I took a deep breath and said “God, can you give me a little help today?” Sure enough, as much as I didn’t think I would accomplish anything today, I’m surprised at how much was completed! Right as the sun was going down, I decided to pull the covers off the ol’ boat and see if she’d fire up. *click* *click* *click* Damn. Battery is dead. Pulled up the truck along side the boat and jumped it. Like the little engine that could it slowly but surely fired up! Such a weight off my shoulders!
I guess what I’m getting at, is that sometimes you just gotta ask Him for help. Not necessarily a prayer, just ask! After all, it’s not like he doesn’t know you need the help anyway. Now I know, you’re thinking church river trip? How much fun can that be? Well it’s photos like this that make you appreciate what He has created and done for us. There’s nothing like getting up at the crack of dawn, head out on the calm, smooth as glass, river and just enjoy the silence and wonder.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s also the awesome fellowship with my church family. I love pulling the kids on a tube and throwing them across the water like rag dolls. Bahahaha.
I was ready to tell Erika, I don’t think I can get everything done for us to go on this trip, with us being sick, but He came through. Take care and God bless!

I can look at that sky ALL DAY LONG! Thanks for sharing Alfred!
