We were told that the dry creekbed on our ranch was a real creek!Now that it's finally rained in Central Texas, we believe it!

Joshua 24:15
"And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE, we will serve the Lord."

What I Have Learned
Faith is not a belief that everything will turn out to please us; rather it is the confidence that no matter how things turn out, God will somehow use the events in our days for His glory and our good.
Truth
"And we know that in all things, God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to HIs purpose." Romans 8:28
What I Believe (Written by a Caringbridge mom, but I agree!)
Nothing shocks God or catches Him off guard. He didn't panic when Adam sinned in the garden. David's mistakes didn't make Him gasp. When Jonah ended up inside the whale, God wasn't thrown. That's because God always has a plan.
And he's got one for your life, too. It's detailed, timely, well-oiled, perfectly orchestrated, and when you fully grasp it, you'll be thrilled. The Bible says He has "plans to propsper . . . and not to harm you . . . to give you hope and a future." But sometimes it's hard to see God's hand at work, especially when trouble's knocking on your door. When the crisis you're facing makes you want to throw in the towel, remember this: our problems become God's opportunities. He loves to transform our most costly mistakes into priceless gems of wisdom, our bruised and bleeding places into greater strength, and our deepest fears into unshakable faith - once we start seeing them as part of His master plan!
So stay in step with Him, keep trusting, and refuse to give in to discouragement no matter what - okay?

That is some creek!
Unless "this water lives in Mombassa," you can build a dam and enjoy a lake (with the proper State permit).
lets see the creek in the back yard now...
