I just posted an "I AM" for the name of God on my Rock4Today blog, with a little description of Who He is. There is absolutely no way I could cover all His "I AM's" in one post, but it got me thinking about who I am.
I guess most importantly, "I am" a Christ follower.
"I am" also a wife and help-mate to my sweet man, a mom, a nana (grandparent), an aunt, a writer, a registered nurse, a Sunday School teacher, a friend, a good cookie baker, a sister, ...and a person who loves to take excursions on the Buffalo National River.
To me the Buffalo National River is one of God's very special places of beauty. With each twist and turn of the river, there are new views with matchless and unparalleled beauty. I am so thankful to live close to this majestic river.
Down stream from the last area that I have pictured, the river bed seems to change with every season. It reminds me of an encouraging Bible verse from Proverbs 21:1 that says, "The king's heart is like a stream of water directed by the LORD; He guides it wherever He pleases." (The Living Bible)
The reason this verse is encouraging to me is because it reminds me of the sovereignty of God. No problem and no person is too big or too powerful for Him to handle. And no problem is too small for Him to care about. In 1 Peter 5:7 He says, "Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares about you. (The Living Bible)
Getting away to the river seems to help remove my cares... the warm sun, the sand, the beautiful blue green waters, the lush vegetation, the song of the birds, and the gentle current of the river all help to soothe and renew my soul. It is one of God's gifts to make me a better person - no matter which hat of the "I am's" I am wearing!
For more on the letter "I" try Jenny Matlock's Alphabet Thursday,

| My granddaughter and I visited this spot on the Buffalo yesterday. |

| My two younger sisters and I visited this spot on the Buffalo last fall. |

| I introduced my grandson to this Buffalo River spot last spring. When I need to de-stress, I often close my eyes and visualize this view of serenity. I can literally drop my blood pressure twenty points when I do this! |
