MCH Challenge 2010!

Psalm 45:4 "In your majesty ride forth victoriously in behalf of truth, humility and righteousness; let your right hand display awesome deeds."

We are very thankful for Dick Grimm coming to us a few years back and asking if he could put on a Bike ride for the ranch. We weren't sure what to expect never being involved in a bike ride. But....it has been encouraging to see the MCH Challenge grow in the last few years.

We are excited to see how the 2010 MCH Challenge is going step up to the Challenge to help the Ranch; as the Riders....ride forth victoriously in behalf of truth, humility and righteousness.

We, the ranch, have gone through several challenges since the ranch was founded in 1992. We are so Blessed to be a part of the awesome deeds of all the people out there allowing God to use them to Bless this Ranch.

If you are interested in riding in the Challenge just click on over to our website and either print off the registration form or register online!

Hope to see some of you there.....and would love to feed you breakfast!

Serving HIM,

He is with me!

Isaiah 43:2-3a

Here are more pictures from our Got Guts Camp this year.... there are some days as I'm passing through the waters and through the flames in life that I feel like they will sweep over me or I will be burned up. However, I know my God is a Big God and HE is my Savior, He will get me through this because He is with ME! Through these flames His Glory will cause people to be AMAZED and these FLAMES will not set me ABLAZE! I claim the victory over JESUS my SAVIOR!

Serving my SAVIOR,

HIS Hands!

This is probably one of my favorite pictures that I took of one of the boys from the ranch. When I look at this picture I think of two things.

1. God holds us in his hands and won't drop us or won't let us down....even though we don't always understand why he has allowed some things in our life to happen HE is still there holding us in the palm of his hands.

2. These chicks taught this boy about God's unconditional Love....no matter what he did God still allowed us to love him through God and teach him about God's LOVE!

I love looking back through pictures of boys that God has brought into our life. God has definately held us in his hands while we have tried to be his hands in helping take destructive hands and turn them into loving hands.

Thank you God for holding me in your hands at all times.

Resting in HIS hands,

The ROCK!

This is a portion of a huge rock that sits at the end of our drive coming into the ranch! Jesus is our ROCK and oh so hard to get through to some boys that HE is solid! Just the other day, a boy stopped in to get something he left here. When I went to give him a hug he turned away and said I don't want a hug from you! I said, "Why did it have to change." His response, "I have freedom, this sucks!" I just have to trust that my Jesus is the Rock and what we taught him about Jesus while he was in our home for 3 years will point him in the right direction and when he is old he will come running back! Oh so hard....but my ROCK is hard, solid and will not be moved so I TRUST in my ROCK! I love you JESUS and I lay this boy, and the other 38 boys that have slept under our roof sometime in the last 18 years, at your feet! I also lay my own three children at your feet as they are all out on their own.

Call on Him in the day of Trouble!

I gaze out the front door and this is what I see. Cows....God's Cows on a small hill, beside a pond and they are His. These cows were adopted by God's people to place on this ranch to teach boys about unconditional love. Sometimes it is so hard to get through to a young man that he is loved...but we have to keep trusting and teaching him to call upon God in the day of trouble. He will deliver us if we only rest in HIS arms and Trust! In this ministry for the last 18 years there have been plenty of days when I have called out to my DADDY up in heaven in the day of trouble. I'm so thankful He is up there with his arms wide open and He is saying "REST in my Arms my child!"
