Hi Amy!

((((HUGS)))

School starts today in Florida! I am back onto my busy schedule.

School starts tomorrow here. Going to try once more to get the screen on Marissa’s cell phone repaired. This will be our third trip to the Apple store.

Enjoy your busy schedule.

I am glad i have a teeny tiny screen on my old fashioned cell phone.

95% of my students have big screen phones, and 95% of THOSE are cracked! LOL!

[JustAmy]

They are careless with their phones ..... well they are careless with many things.

Four more years!! Sigh.

[trisham]

Thanks, Amy!

Well, I don’t blame the kids completely...the big screens are not protected, and very vulnerable to impact.

I drop my phone a lot, but the screen is small, has a ridge around the edge, and is covered by a flip top. (Beam me up, Scotty!) LOL.

[JustAmy]

You are right .... the IPhones are notorious for cracked screens.

I just wish they had cute cases that are protective. Marissa bought a case because she liked it and it was $10 instead of $35; but it is no protection.

Gotta go or we will miss our appt. TTYL

Following The Master
August 19, 2014

Read: Numbers 9:15-23

At the command of the Lord they remained encamped, and at the command of the Lord they journeyed. —Numbers 9:23

Bible in a Year:
Psalms 103-104; 1 Corinthians 2

At a dog show near my home, I watched a Cardigan Welsh corgi named Trevor perform. At his master’s command, he ran several yards away and immediately returned, he jumped fences, and he identified objects using his sense of smell. After finishing each exercise, he sat down at his master’s feet and waited for more instructions.

Trevor’s careful attention to his master’s instruction reminded me of the devotion God desired from His people as they followed Him through the wilderness. God led in a unique way. His presence appeared as a cloud. If the cloud ascended, He wanted His people to move to another area. If the cloud descended, they were to stay put. “At the command of the Lord they remained encamped, and at the command of the Lord they journeyed” (Num. 9:23). The Israelites followed this practice day or night, regardless of how long they had to remain in one place.

God wasn’t simply testing the Israelites; He was leading them to the Promised Land (10:29). He wanted to take them to a better place. So it is with us when God asks us to follow Him. He wants to lead us to a place of closer fellowship with Himself. His Word assures us that He is loving and faithful in leading those who humbly follow Him.

In fellowship sweet we will sit at His feet,
Or we’ll walk by His side in the way;
What He says we will do, where He sends we will go;
Never fear, only trust and obey. —Sammis

God asks His children to follow the Leader.

Insight

The tabernacle (Num. 9:15) was not only a place of worship, it was intended to be the center of Israel’s national life. This “tent of meeting” also foreshadowed the incarnation of Christ, the living Word who “dwelled” (that is, “tabernacled”) among us in a tent of human flesh (John 1:14).

Happy Grati-Tuesday, Y'All.

What He says we will do, where He sends we will go;
Never fear, only trust and obey.

He wants to lead us to a place of closer fellowship with Himself. His Word assures us that He is loving and faithful in leading those who humbly follow Him.

Amen. Thank you for the reminder of our reward, in following Him.
