Transfiguration Sunday

Well, for those of you who have been around me through my decision to go to San Francisco know that I have not been totally excited or at peace about going. But, God finally showed me some things that have helped me to finally come to peace with the situation. I made my way through the motorcycles to Spearfish to go to church to see some friends. It just happened to be Transfiguration Sunday. I am like Peter. "Master, it is good for us to be herel; let us make three dwellings, one for you, one for Moses, one for Elijiah." I am comfortable here in Rapid City. "It is good for me to be here." Like I said before, I have a great group of friends and family that I have found difficult leaving. I feel safe here. I feel comfortable here. I have found great encouragement from those around me. God has given me rest. This has been great. We are meant to have "mountain tops." God brings them into our life to give us encouragement and rest. We get to see God in his glory, we get to feel blessed for all that God has given us. Life is good.But, God doesn't give us these mountain top times just for the heck of it. Sooner or later it is time to move. It is time to move from where we feel comfortable. It is time move into the plains and valleys. It is in these places that God calls us to help others experience their mountain tops. It is in these places that God calls us to love the unloveable and befreind the friendless. Again, I feel called to where life happens. For me this is San Francisco. Life for me is unsure. It is the unseen and unknown. What God has for me in San Fran I don't know yet. But, this is the plain and valley that I feel called to. So I will thank God for the time that He has given me to rest and feel encouraged. I thank you all for being encouragment to me. I will now move on down the mountain.
