The Garden

Ok before I get started let me give you the prayer request from yesterday.
1. Kayla get her stitches out on Wednesday.
2. That all will have a good week at school.
3. Irene would catch up in her school work.
4. Allison to bring her civic grade up.
5. Brian would continue to heal.
6. More students would come to H2O.

Ok so let me start by saying again it has been a while since I wrote. As most of you know I am going to read through this Bible that I have had for some time called The Bible for Personal Revival, so last night I went home and read chapter 3 of Genesis (yes only one chapter for personal study) which by the way I have had a difficult time taking any time for personal study lately because I am doing so much at Church no excuses (sorry). So chapter 3 is all about how Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit from the tree then God came and found them and they were thrown out of the Garden forever. It became apparent to me last night that due to this sin and man becoming sinful all of the trouble (rain) we face in life (if you don't get the rain comment, come to H2O), is because we are sinful. I cannot stop thinking about what the Garden must have been like. Can you imagine walking with God and Him being in you presence to walk and talk with just like your best friend or your wife or husband? This must have been awesome. If I had to guess I would say that the Garden must be a lot like heaven. Where everything is living in perfect harmony where there are no cares at all and where everything is in the very presence of God where He would walk and talk with His creation. Wow, what an amazing thing this must have been. I can't wait to get to heaven to see this! But I realize that because I'm still alive and writing this that God must have more for me to do here on Earth. As Paul would say "to live is Christ, to die is gain."
