An excerpt from Cheryl's journal Nov 11 2006...

I've been watching the Lord of the Rings again this last week and it's a great movie to watch with Jesus : ). It's funny how I'm still in awe of these experiences with God, and how even though I've known the verse, 'He never leaves me' for the longest time... watching a movie with God is still a relatively new experience for me.

I mean, it was a funny thing, the day I realized that God is with me (all the time) whether I acknowledge His presence or not, and all I do now is ask a question like, "what do you think of this Father?" and He just answers...

Who would've thought He'd have an opinion on a movie? and yet on the other hand, it's like... of course He would... He knows how many hairs I have on my head!!... He is the living God who cares about everything that I'm about. It's awesome to wake up to the truth of this reality.

Growing up I just had no idea I could connect with God like this, but as I've hungered for more of Him, to see His face, to know His character, His person. As I've read His word with a desire to know what He is actually saying, which He reveals through His Spirit for the simple reason that I ask Him to, and believe He will, I am getting more and more familiar with who He is, just like I would get to know anyone I choose to spend time with and I find that hearing God's voice comment on so many aspects of my life, a thing that is happening more and more and it's an incredible experience and I am so in awe of it. His love is so real, He is so real and it's ...like...it's LIFE like I've never lived it before.

So anyway, this morning, after two weeks of 'The Lord of the Rings', God keeps reminding me of this one line...

"Aslan is on the move..."

Hehe! I guess He's been watching 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" with someone else. : )

And I say, "Yes Lord : ), You are on the move".

What an exciting time to be alive! : )
