My family spent the first few days of 2020 in Colorado enjoying the majestic mountains and the dazzling white snow. We’ve had beautiful weather for skiing. 3 days straight of snow makes for some real powder. And for you who know skiing, fresh powder makes awesome ski conditions.
Since we are in Colorado where Marijuana is legal, of course my boys have several questions. And oh, you know I don’t have all the answers. But I do know what I want them to hear…”Don’t touch it’!”
This blog was created from a conversation I had with God about how much I hate drugs. He led me to read Colossians 3 and He spoke these words to me, “Stay High”. He reminded me that He is higher than drugs. He sent Jesus to show me how to live among it, show love among it, forgive among it, and to be close to Him among it. He reminded me that Jesus is seated High among it.
Colossians 3 tells us to keep our minds and hearts on Him because he is Higher. Inhale Him and live higher. Therefore, we who are His, are also able to be higher, spiritually and mentally because we have been crucified and given new life through him.
I know, it’s a glorious mystery, and it takes wholehearted faith to take hold of it. And when we do, it’s a great feeling.
As my 10 year old and I were riding the chairlift after a fresh glistening sunny snowy morning, I reminded him that Jesus washes our sins away as white as snow. That snow was so beautifully sparkling white. He gave us a great visual.
So, in an effort to get our minds off of the Colorado High and on to a Jesus High…
We found ample “Stay High” moments here in Breckenridge.
1.The view of Mountains all around. Amazing!
2. Riding the ski lift 🚠 up to get a better view of Gods awesome creation all around us.
3. The altitude in thin air with less oxygen is a reminder of just how high we really were. Thousands of feet above our normal Mississippi sea level. God knows just how much air we need to breath down here in the valley. He knows everything.
4. The reminder that health and physical abilities are a blessing. And we have much to be grateful for.
5. Family. We have had many sweet moments together traveling, touring the city, dining together, and skiing together.
So Stay High, Carry On, and remember…Jesus Loves You! ❤️
Stay High
