Satisfied

Well I was going to show the pictures of the balloon ride but now that I have quickly looked over our site I see Joel has beaten me to it. Well I guess I will have to show more pictures of the same roll he did.
Just eww and aww as if you have never even see them or heard what we did.
So below we have the balloon getting blown up. It was freezing so these guys had the best seats in the house.


























And this gorgeous picture is what Joel, Danette and I saw when we were up in the ballon together.

Life right now is like the balloon ride that Dee and Janet Danner gave to us. They had us fly in the ballon but tied us down to the ground so that we wouldn't fly too far away and we had a ten minute ride. Don't get me wrong this was awesome and I loved it. But to compare it to my life now makes me think I want more.

I do feel that God is putting us on a balloon ride but for right now we are just messing with getting the balloon in the air. And then when we do get in the air God is like no no you can only be up for a little bit while you are tied to the earth because you could not handle right now what I am going to give you later. I am preparing you for a sercret and wonderful mission.

GOODNESS let me loose. Cut the rope. Any thing, let me free so I can fly as far and high as the atmosphere permits. I am dying here. I feel no longer satisfiedtied tied to earth for a short balloon ride.

Any one else smelling what I am stepping in. But then God brings me His wonderful word that He spoke through Paul. "for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.." Wham Bam instant peace to my bones. I realize that I need, no matter what, to be content(satisfied) in all I do. That if God gave that to Paul He can certainly give it to me. I just have to be willing to recieve Him and let God go as fast as He will let me. When this truly is achieved I am satisfied in the balloon ride.

God Bless and may you let God bring you to a place where you can be content in all things. Or I like to say satisfied in all things.

i know what you mean but its such a good thing to read and remember before you take yourself on a spiral that spins you out of any sense or interest in what God is really doing. However on the other ... that balloon ride, with its limitations, still sounds like it would have been pretty fun. Nice to see some pictures with a story.
love you guys...
