Lets take a gander…

sigh… its been a while since i have been here, for many reasons… and i find myself missing this more and more the further and further i get away from it. Mostly because i am not hearing from the Lord, which is the main reason for this blog.  Tonight has been a night full of on my face prayer to God.  I have been through some low times the past few weeks with my walk with God… i have been at a lost for desire to spend time with Him. My prayer that i found myself desiring more than anything tonight is Ephesians 3:14-21:

For this reason I kneel before the Father, ¹⁵from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. ¹⁶I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, ¹⁷so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, ¹⁸may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, ¹⁹and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

²⁰Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, ²¹to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

as i read my devotional book and bible a reoccurring theme that God spoke to me was that i will take your weaknesses and make you strong and that i love you more than you will ever know.  I found myself crying and crying and crying because of how two things i have the most trouble with here on this earth.. God has both of them under control.. and my heart breaks for every time i doubt him…. what an amazing God we have to love a girl who unworthy of his time, that he will show me in his word how much the thoughts in my mind are not of him… im breaking before a God who i know will put me back together… and its the only way im breaking in the first place.. all this to get to point of the blog.

This time of the year is when geese begin to mate and have little goslings. In my home town i see them all over the place, from parks to neighborhoods to on the side of an extremely busy roads.  As you know a family consists of a goose, a gander, and the gosling. The goose can give birth to one to up to seven (the most i have ever seen). Most of the babies dont make it to become to large for one reason or another, but those who do make it begin a journey that i have noticed to be an amazing one.

For the next 2-3 months the mother and father are earth-bound(for baby geese cant fly until 6 weeks old)… walking everywhere with their young… the other day i was driving through a neighborhood.. and as i driving i came up on a family. the dad was standing in the street and the mother and her children were grazing down the hill a good 2 ft from where the dad was… as i approached him he didnt move and just stood there.. and the mother and her young continued on as nothing was wrong… he continued to move with them but at a safe distance as to keep watch from everything.  That next day i visited a park near my home with my dog.  There was at least 4 families by the pond and as my dog and i approach about 5 ft away all the dads made a call and like clock work the mothers and babies stood up and moved into the water… it was amazing..

As i was watching them i could only imagine the God who created them.. how complex something as the family of geese were created. How even the male and female are partners for life, they return to the place where they were born to find a mate, and fly in flocks for thousands of miles.  It’s just simply amazing to me. If a God who took that much time on them, how much more time He took on me and His plan for my life.  so the next time you see a family of geese remember how much God cares about His creation and you and i are apart of that! God Bless You!

Ps. I guess that how the slogan got started because the gander (father goose) always is on the watch!
