A ride on the boat

Yesterday was a very interesting day. It all started out with my ministry partner and I working on putting names into the computer. There are a lot of them, and we are still not done. We have about 30 more to put into the computer. After putting names into the computer for a while we got a phone call and we learned that we would be going for a boat ride that day. Before we got to the lake, I got into the back of the pontoon boat that we were going to ride into the lake. The boat slid into the water and before I knew it, we were off. It was a semi-hot day, but it was nice out. I ate two little debby twinkies. I think I might have had a little too much sugar, but it was good just the same. Taking the boat into a shady area, our driver (Bill) had us drop anchor. I layed on the side of the boat and put my feet into the water. The cooling effect was almost instant. After that I pulled out my pocket Bible and it was sugested that I read something. So I read from John 6. After the reading we discussed the passage that was read. Someone mentioned the story about the Israelites and how much God had done for them, and how they still didn't trust Him. I remembered the time that I had a hard time trusting God by completely surrendering my life into His hands. I struggled with this decision for about 3 years and was sitting in the guys dorm, and decided to put my trust in God. Now back to the journal on yesterday: Sitting in the shade was nice, but when we were in the sun I sweltered. After enjoying a nice boat ride we loaded up and went back to the people who were allowing us to ride on their boat's house. On the way one of the tires had trouble and so we had to drop off the trailer at somebody's house. That somebody was very nice, and allowed us to leave the trailer with the boat on it at his house, until we could get the necessary equipment to fix the tire. While we were waiting we had a nice supper which consisted of Scalloped potatoes, cornbread, beans, a Mexican rice dish and choplets. After supper we talked a while, and then headed back to our place. When we got back I attempted to write this blog, and could only come up with half of it. I decided that I would write the next part down today. If I were going to choose a main lesson for that day, it would have to be "Trust God at all times in life." No matter what the difficulty we can always trust the One who made us.J He promises never to leave us or forsake us. The Bible says "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not unto your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your path." Proverbs 3:5,6.
