Right now I am sitting in "Little Bear" Cabin at Camp Quaker Ridge. It's early in the morning and the sun is just rising up over all of the Pine Trees. I'm drinking Starbucks Coffee and eating my breakfast inside, warm and cozy. Audrey and I have been able to come here for a couple of days. We really needed to get away from Haviland and have some time to seek after the Lord and what He has in store for us next. Quaker Ridge has become a place of change for me. I never thought that it would be when I first came here, but everytime I have come something inside of me changes. Well, that generally leads to outside change as well. In October 2011 it led us to leave Kemmerer and move to Haviland. In early March, I really felt God saying it was time to move forward - nothing in Haviland was really opening up. And here I am again mid-April where I have learned more about myself. Each of these times here have not been easy. They have actually been pretty tough. God throws down the gauntlant in the mountains. I am left with nothing else but Him. Right now we are waiting. Waiting for what God has next, and in the meantime we are relying on Him.
