Our God BEYOND Wonder

I cannot even begin to contain in one email what I have witnessed of God in my travels from the Eastern Coast of Halifax to meetings with significant faith people in all cities across Canada, to the very edge of Florida and the Islands of Bahamas. I literally have been through all our North American time zones, many climates, marvelled at the tides off the coast off Halifax, the many colors of the ocean water, randomly dispersed islands called of paradise (Bahamas) to the wild and rustic surroundings of Northern Washington with its towering evergreens. Only to return to my now orchard blossoming hometown of Kelowna. I am a smitten, blessed woman to the hand of our marvelous Creator. Yet despite such wondrous natural beauty, the depth of wonder I find most intriguing is the very picture of God that is displayed in the faithful, strong, dynamic men and women of faith I have had the privilege to connect with. A great treasure for me is to sense Christ in people. When I see, sense, hear, even smell the fragrance of Him in fellow believers of all ages, I find it pure joy. It is merely my foretaste of a piece of His glory. I find my spirit soars as I speak and pour out truth to these hearts not only ready and eagerly desiring more, but FULL ON ready to unashamedly display more of His goodness!!!

As an eyewitness to what God is doing in our country I shall proclaim that there is a remnant here that has not bowed the knee to Baal, in which He is claiming for His own. It is a joy and a thrill to know that our God always chooses the under dogs, the few in numbers, the ones that "aren't" to be the ones that "are", the ordinaries to be HIS extra ordinaries. And I believe that despite so many becoming God haters, there is a remnant the fervently calls him their King.

I am smitten all the more, despite being poured out and probably having the least amount of sleep I have ever had in 2 weeks; my heart is full, my spirit alive and I fall in wonder that our God SO loves us. He tells me, "I don't NEED you Carrie, but I DESIRE you." wow.... so true.... humbling yet exhilarating the Creator has a thing for me.... wow...

As I sit on the plane marvelling at how small I am to Him, I can't help but declare some rightful statements for Him, that fuel my FIRE to serve Him with all I am.

Here's a few....

With all our technology can you show me the path of where the wind shall go or show me where the lightning will hit?
Tell me how a cloud can float such weight of heavy water?
How do birds know where to migrate every year or better yet the path to take, even without GPS or mapquest?
Who can tell me all that lies on the deepest ocean floor or how about just walk across it?
Who can find out their number of days here on earth? What if I offered you any amount $ to tell me such?
Who created the lion to retreat before nothing? How does it have such courage?
Tell me how TRUE love is formed between two people for a lifetime?
How does the mind create, maintain and hold "wisdom"?
Can you change the temperature just one degree for me today?
Can the weather channel hold a "number of clouds" count for around the world on a daily basis?
Please change the shape of Orion's belt for just one night, make it whatever design you prefer?
Tell the mother bear not to worry about her cubs. Better yet, ask her to put just one up for adoption.
Show me a horse that is naturally maneless.
Create a circus act with flying eagles that fly according to your command.

All this is captured in my heart as I mediate on Job and Proverbs. This is my God. The one I will forever worship. My God who declares all glory to Himself, and rightfully so. You are my God and I love you.

As the plane descends to land and my ears pop, I want to add one more...

Stop your ears from popping as you descend from the heavens in a plane.... hmmmm...

God I love you. Truly love and shall boast of no other as I do of you. You are truly... my AMEN.
