Recently we took a few days and travel to the southern part of Argentina.  While we were there, we had the opportunity to travel around and as see the beautiful mountains, trees, rivers, waterfalls and lakes that surround that area of the country.

I heard the Lord speak very clearly to me as we prepared to travel around and take in the beauty that was around us. I knew this was a word for me and for others who are wanting to experience more of the Lord during this next year.

Have you every seen the movie “The Lion King”?  It was originally released in 1994.  Since I have younger children, I've seen the movie many times over the years.  The main characters in the movie are Mufasa (the reigning Lion King), Simba (his only son) and Scar (Simba's Uncle who desires to steal the title as Lion King).

Throughout the movie Simba struggles to forgive himself, feeling guilty, because his father died as a result of saving him when he was a child during a stampede of wildebeest that was planned by his uncle Scar.  It's not until later in his life that Simba has a revelation and discovers his true voice.  The mighty roar of a Lion.
