Nothing to see here… unless nature is enough for you
If you were planning to come to Mount Desert Island while the Coronavirus was still a national crisis a year ago, what would you expect?
Don’t expect things to be as they were the last time you were here. This time, your vacation on the Island will be very different…
…but much more peaceful, refreshing and pleasant. It was so, as long as the Coronavirus emergency was with us… and as long as you prefered a hike through forests, over hills and along coastlines, instead of window shopping, dining out and large crowds.
First Baptist Church, Bar Harbor: God CAN be trusted!
Has your Heavenly Father ever led you down a strange pathway you did not understand? You know He was in it, but it just didn’t make sense. Or the consequences you may face by going down His road shook your trust in Him to the core.
When life is hard, I encourage you to trust Him completely. No matter what. He knows what He is doing. And, in His economy, nothing is ever wasted.
When we face difficulties along the way, it shouldn’t be taken as evidence that you missed His direction. Many times, it’s proof you heard Him well!
Desert Springs Ministries began in 2014. From the time we finished laying the foundation, I had a heart to help the millions of tourists visiting Mount Desert Island as part of our fund raising strategy.
It made no sense. It wasn’t terribly grounded in reality.
And yet, I was convinced that if I could help some wonderful visitors have a better vacation by giving them insider advice that helps, some of them would get to know us, and begin to support our ministry.
When things don’t go as expected, trust Him
Even today, I’m embarrassed as I remember my first attempt to get the attention of tourists.
