Rocky Mountain High

Son Mike, daughter Kristy, son Marc
friend Lizza Baro surround me in prayer

Grand daughter Grace, Grandson Brandon,
friend Louise Christopher lay hands on me.
Only four members of our 19 strong family
were unable to share in this prayer time. Perhaps
not pictured but all children, their mates and
grandchildren and beloved friends were with us.

There are moments of time in your walk with the Lord that you are completely enveloped in His presence. For me personally those have been moments of great pain and sorrow when there was nothing left but the Lord. I call those my Adonai moments when I ran out of courage, strength or grit to withstand the great wave of pain that life offered up to find the Lord waiting right there at the end of me. OK, here’s where it’s going to sound really strange if you have not ever experienced those moments. Those Adonai moments of time are my most treasured experiences in life. To be enveloped in the presence of the Lord is such an incredibly safe place, warmed by His love and surrounded in peace. It’s not a place you want to leave. Truly, I am not fond of the anguishing pain or the gravity of illness that seem to escort me to my Adonai moments so imagine my surprise to discover a new path. A rocky mountain high!

My family and friends made our way to the stadium floor at the Promise Keeper’s event this past week end to receive a yellow star signifying our heart to heart pledge to stand with our Messianic Jewish brothers and sisters. My husband was waiting for us there as prayer broke out all around us. Shofars were blowing and it felt as if the beautiful mountains that surrounded us in Boulder Colorado were shaking inside of me. And then ….. the Kavod fell, my Adonai moment without pain or suffering I was in my incredibly safe place, warmed by His love and surrounded in peace. Indescribable joy!

"Then said I, Woe is me! For I am undone and ruined, because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts!" Isaiah 6:5 (Amplified Bible)

A pearl to string: When you come to the end of yourself, the end of your right, the end of your knowledge ….. You will find a ‘peace that surpasses all human understanding’ (Philippians 4:7). It is there you will find a guard for your hearts and minds in Jesus.

In His Shekinah glory,
You are loved,
