It struck me that God was training you to be led by the Spirit. That your life was /is a literal representation (like Ezekiels was) of how God wants to lead us and how we are to respond. We think to go East but we don’t get a ride so we go west and immediately God sends a ride. The children of Israel had to get their feet wet before the Jordan River parted.<br />You will hear a voice behind you say this is the way, walk ye in it.<br /><br />To be so trained by the Spirit, to be sensitive to Him, this is it. This is everything . Just some thoughts that have struck me reading your book.<br /><br />Blessings.Tim Sheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07931913325290043598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9129556058615289740.post-46203411615528309882019-03-16T13:42:10.626-06:002019-03-16T13:42:10.626-06:0014 April 2015

He gave you a ride to Kooskia a couple weeks ago. My dad gave me your "High Plains Drifter" book to read. I just finished it today at work waiting for the guys to finish prepping a roof to recoat. I enjoyed the book. It's inspiring to see someone wholly trust God and successfully live as free as you do. This past year has been a whirlwind of reconnection with God, my wife, new baby and family. I was invited to join a "leadership" study group with our pastor at church along with a couple other guys. It has proved to be so much more than simple leadership lessons and has made me grow more than I could have ever done on my own. The most recent book was "With" by Skye Jethani. It talks about the different ways people relate to God and the Holy Spirit. So many people want God to bless them for living a certain way, tithing a certain way or behaving a certain way, many miss simply living with God and simply seeking Him. Enjoying His presence now vs viewing this life as an uncomfortable intermission before the true reward in heaven. While heaven will be glorious, I believe God meets us where we are now and shows himself daily. After reading that book along with yours, you seem to model this more or less and relate to God in a very authentic way. I feel that is the direction God is leading me. Slow down, enjoy those around me, love, serve, and seek God. While relatively foreign to me in the past for the most part, I'm finding myself driven towards it now. I'd love to meet you sometime and hear more about the way you relate to and trust God. You sound like a really interesting guy who seeks the Lord. I'm not sure how much you get the chance to check your email, but if you're going to be in the area sometime, I'd love to hear from you. <br /><br />Have a Good One,<br /><br />TravisTim Sheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07931913325290043598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9129556058615289740.post-60479720971430409182012-06-18T09:20:42.423-06:002012-06-18T09:20:42.423-06:00Randy: Not all work is practical in the Kingdom o...Randy: Not all work is practical in the Kingdom of Heaven. Sometimes I wonder why the Lord has me hitchhike to a certain place because it seems that nothing really happened. <br /><br />The life surrendered to Christ IS the sermon. My hitchhiking and obeying the Lord IS the sermon. The power of the Holy Ghost is always working, whether we can see it or not.<br /><br />This was a great review--very insightful and perceptive; M. Canniff hit the nail on the head.Tim Sheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07931913325290043598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9129556058615289740.post-82726089945968526182012-06-18T07:32:25.741-06:002012-06-18T07:32:25.741-06:00Tim, what a wonderful, insightful review.

I'm so happy you received this because it's good for you to know how you affect the lives of others and especially it's good for your faith to know that God truly is using you for His higher purpose. God bless dear brother.Traveler Andrew Sheets https://www.blogger.com/profile/09058451876886098168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9129556058615289740.post-81566145078721776232012-06-17T10:18:22.138-06:002012-06-17T10:18:22.138-06:00This comment is from Rex "Scrappy" Ingra...This comment is from Rex "Scrappy" Ingram (I met Rex through Digihitch.com):<br /><br />"I just read your review from your blog and hope it inspires you to see the uniqueness and individuality you posess. It's inherent in us all but few actualize the potential into kinetic actions like you have. Remember that the past starts one second ago and it can't be changed, but it can be reviewed and learned from to direct the future course. Your life is like the blowing up of a balloon, it gets bigger and more influential the more you put into it. Yours is already a big balloon, but you are so young that your greatest moments and pleasures are yet ahead of you and not in your past. Dare to dare and to be greater than your past and it's a win, win situation. As Bob Dylan's song says, 'those not busy livin' are busy dyin'.' Take care and happy trails, Rex."Tim Sheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07931913325290043598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9129556058615289740.post-22168857820210152282012-06-13T21:11:07.456-06:002012-06-13T21:11:07.456-06:00Here is a comment from Carine McCandless from my F...Here is a comment from Carine McCandless from my Facebook page:<br /><br />"Nice review Tim Shey, congrats. I think your biggest fan does not need a computer to connect with others, He uses you apparently :)"<br /><br />Here is my response:<br /><br />"Thank you, Carine. If we are truly surrendered to Christ, the Lord uses us in situations everyday even when we don't think we are of any practical value. Zechariah 4: 6: 'Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.'"Tim Sheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07931913325290043598noreply@blogger.com
