 |
|
RETREAT VIEW...
Can't you just see yourself there!
|
We were created,
we were designed & we are
strategically positioned by God,
For Such A Time As This!
Time Together Ladies Retreat is an opportunity for ladies to spend “Time Together” away from our busy lives to reflect on who we are, what we desire, rekindle & strengthen our passion in God and experience His Glory.
Together: to stand with another, to have unity, to form a consistent or coherent whole, to be with someone in company, in one place, in harmony
Est. 4:14 “For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father's family will perish.
And who knows but that you have come to royal position for such a time as this?"
Email today for an information packet with all the details.
This is going to be fun and exciting. It is going to be held in the rolling hills of Kentucky at a brand new retreat & conference center. You will love it! It is a beautiful place of peace and solace. Rest, Relax, and enjoy the fellowship of women whose desire is to discover and fulfill their destinies. I hope to see you there.

| Seasons of Transition |
 |
Moving in & out of the God-seasons or our lives is more about the realization of the change and adjusting to it, than the change itself. Accepting the transition and learning to quickly get into aggreement with God's plans makes the entire process so much easier. It even helps it to move along more quickly. Why, because we are not so stressed out about it or so impatient during the process of it.
When one part of our spiritual lives becomes less active and another picks up, we need to become more sensitive to the change, we must quickly discern, recognize, and accept God's soverign hand in it.
All that is really happening is that God is moving us from one field of harvest to another. Most likely we are on a temporary hiatus while God is working behind the scenes to advance His will in our lives. Most likely the field that we have been is has produced it's full potiential for our spiritual advancement. Thus God is moving us to a new field to fulfill specific needs in our spiritual lives, or there are other sheep in this new fold that are ready and waiting for what God has given us to share.
Either way, whether we go or stay we must enjoy both seasons. The season of release to another field of service, or be content to remain in the present field of service where we are presently feeding and being fed.
Our lives are not are our own. As we know, we have been bought with a price, and it wasn't cheap. It was the life-blood of the Son of God. If our Heavenly Father willingly gave us His son as a ransom for our sins, then the least we can do is trust His will in our lives. He is after all, the lover of our souls, a friend that sticks closer than a brother, and our Beloved! How could we ask or need more!

| He Gave His Angels Special Charge Over Me! |
 |
Last Saturday I had a taken a shower and was cleaning up some things in my bath. I have some bottles of cleansing gel that I keep refilled on a shelf at the back of my tub. Outside the opposite end of my tub I have a table which holds a vase and plant.
So I was standing at the front of the tub, leaning across it reaching for the bottles in the back left corner, I lifted my left leg to give me more stretch as I have done many times before, and placed my hand on the back tiles of the tub.
Failing to remember that I had just taken a shower, the very instant that my hand touched the wet tiles it slipped, and faster than a speeding bullet I fell downward and forward turning up side down and landing head & shoulder first at the bottom of the tub. In that split second I thought...."I am in Big Trouble!" My feet were half way up the front shower wall sticking outside the shower.
At first I was speechless. I didn't move. I thought, oh my, what have I done? At that moment my husband came running in and told me not to move. I kept waiting for that oh so familiar pain of injury to ensue and in the next few seconds it did! It was my big toe and the ones next to it, they began to scream in a painful throb.
My husband stepped into the tub and like my knight in shining armor picked me up out of the tub, carried me and set me down. I was amazed that the only thing giving me pain was my toe. I couldn't believe it! I began to think of the seriousness of the situation that had just happened to me. Many people are severely injured and even die from blunt force trama to their heads when falling headlong into a bath tub. But I had only injured my toe!
I began to praise the Lord and thank Him for what He had just done for me. I began to weep and weep and weep and weep! It wasn't tears of joy, it wasn't tears of pain, but tears of thankfulness and gratitiude for the 'Savior' He had just been to me. As I held ice on the injury and sat in my husband's prayer chair, I felt the love of God pour over me like I have never felt before.
It was so warm, it was so gentle, it was so kind, it was comforting, so reassuring, and oh, so real. I wept, and wept, and wept. This must have gone on for 30-45 minutes. This presence of God and His love for me was so over powering that during this time I never felt the pain.
I could not thank Him enough. I knew at that moment that my mission on this earth was not over and that my destiny was still to be fulfilled. Ps. 91:11-12 came flowing in and out of my spirit over and over, "He will give His angels charge over me, to keep me in all my ways. With there wings they shall bear me up, lest my foot dash against a stone."
Wow, the smallest injury of all...my toe against the wall. Praise His Holy name. As I thought of what could have been but wasn't, it would begin all over again; the tears, the thankfulness, the gratitude, the love, the love, the Agape love of my Lord and Savior. That name; 'Savior' took on a whole new meaning to me.
My body has felt the trauma for a few days now, with messages from muscles and tendons I never even knew I had. But I will never forget that one day that I knew for sure the Lord gave His Angels special charge over me. To God be the glory forever and ever! Amen

| I Can't Sleep |
 |
Do you ever have those nights when you just can't sleep? Well, this is one of those nights! It's 2:19 in the morning and here I am at the computer. I would rather be in my cozy bed. However, I wanted to tell each of you how special you are to me. If you are reading this, you are special to me and to God. He loves you and so do I.
There's not enough love to go around these days. I have always been called "a love bug." It's a true statement. I got it honestly from my Mother. A precious saint that has already moved to that city called Heaven, whose builder and maker is God. One day I am going to move there too. Will you be there with us? I sure hope so.
You can be assured of that one thing; making heaven your home. All you have to do is repent and ask Jesus Christ to come into your heart, forgive you of your sins and be the Lord of your life. He will do it right then and there. Oh, the joy of a soul set free!
John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life."
I don't know who the Lord has gotten me up for in these wee hours of the morning, but I know that someone is going to accept the gift of eternal life because of it. Then one day you too will live in that city called Heaven. When you and I are both living there, please walk up to me and tell me that it was you that the Lord had me up for during that second watch of the night. Then I can give you the BIG HUG that God saved just for you; from Him through my arms extended, when we both once lived in that place called earth.
If you are the one that reads this and accepts Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord, then by all means, please email me and let me know about it now! I'd be thrilled to discover I have a new sister or brother in my family...the family of God. You know what, I am just going to to go ahead and give you a BIG CYBERSPACE HUG right now! :)
I love you.
Nighty nite......

| Transition |
Ever wonder why the Lord decides to move us in and out of certain seasons in our lives? Ever wonder why it usually has to do with giving up that which means the most to us? Well, so many times I find that He has given me a few hints along the way, but I have not taken heed of them for one reason or another. So He seems to have to always help me along. By helping me along I mean He has to pick me up and set me down where He wants me to be.
Everyting in life costs something and the spiritual realm is no different. It usually costs us whatever means the most to us. Christ's victory at the cross cost Him His life. The price we pay involves dying. We die a little bit ever time we follow the perfect will and plan of God for our lives. Paul stated in I Cor. 15:31, "I die daily."
Dying to our flesh and emotions is a hard thing to do. It takes spiritual fortitude and being built up in our most holy faith. It goes against our very nature as we were born to live. Yet as we die daily to our will ,we receive His pefect will within our spirit. As we pass through the spiritual valley of the shadow of death we move into a new level of spiritual growth. We may not see it at the time.
However, as the Shepherd moves His sheep from pasture to pasture, I am sure they are not always ready to go. For most likely they have found a cozy little place to lay on soft green grass. The shepherd continues to push them to move on, no matter how comfortable they may have become. For most likely they are very close to the mesa, the tableland at the top of the mountain. Everything depends on them getting there at just the right time and season. The same goes for our lives. When we can't discern the times, the Lord, our Shepherd does it for us. It's like a shot of medicine; it hurts, but it eventually makes us to feel better.

| To Live Like You Were Dying |
 |
Most of the time I only want to write about the good things in my life. But today is different. I have a dear, dear friend that is dying unless God miraculously intervenes. She has been like a sister to me. But it is more than a natural friendship it is a spiritual bond and sisterhood. God has used her, as well as her husband in so many ways in my life. She has been a prayer warrior, an intercessor, and an armor bearer for me. She has taught me many revelations in the Word. If I wrote all day I could never find the right words to say about all that she has been to me.
I want to honor her today and say that I hope for those of you who happen to read this that you too will have a friend like this at least once in your life time. I can't imagine what it would be in her position or the position of her husband. But I know that many have walked this road and many more will walk it in the future. We must all face the fact that one day our sojourn on this earth will end and we will all walk through the valley of the shadow of death. There is a song that I feel is so appropriate for today. It is a secular country song, but it hits the heart like an arrow.
Artist: Tim McGraw
Album: Live Like You Were Dying
Song: Live Like You Were Dying
He said I was in my early forties
with a lot of life before me
when a moment came that stopped me on a dime
and I spent most of the next days
looking at the x-rays
Talking bout the options
and talking bout sweet time
I asked him when it sank in
that this might really be the real end
how's it hit you when you get that kinda news
man what'd you do
and he said
I went sky diving
I went Rocky Mountain climbing
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named FuManchu
and I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter
and I gave forgiveness I'd been denying
and he said someday I hope you get the chance
to live like you were dying.
He said I was finally the husband
that most the time I wasn't
and I became a friend a friend would like to have
and all the sudden going fishin
wasn't such an imposition
and I went three times that year I lost my dad
well I finally read the good book
and I took a good long hard look
at what I'd do if I could do it all again
and then
I went sky diving
I went Rocky Mountain climbing
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named FuManchu
and I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter
and I gave forgiveness I'd been denying
and he said someday I hope you get the chance
to live like you were dying.
Like tomorrow was a gift and you got eternity to think about
what'd you do with it what did you do with it
what did I do with it
what would I do with it'
Sky diving
I went Rocky Mountain climbing
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named FuManchu
and then I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter
and I watched an eagle as it was flying
and he said someday I hope you get the chance
to live like you were dying.

| The Land of Goshen |
|
This year is passing so fast and God is moving in such different and unique circumstances. I see people around me being used by God in ways that astound human reasoning. Godly people are being tried by fire and have not even the smell of smoke. The enemy has come in like a flood. Yet as the waters rage God's people are never overcome. Fear is trying to establish a stronghold in our nation. Yet God's people are standing firm in times of great stress and danger. There is a land called Goshen.The children of Israel lived there when great plaques were unleashed upon Egypt. That land still exists today! God's people can live there today just like yesterday. It is a land located in the secret place of the most high, sheltered by the God above all Gods! Believe it and you can possess it. Possess it and it is yours. Live there, love there, and give thanks for your promised land; your land of milk and honey! It is not a place of yesteryear. It is a place for today. Right now! Don't let go of the Lord go until He blesses you!
