Tonight starts our retreat.
I am excited to spend some time with all of you.
I know that God has some wonderful things planned for each of us.
We have so much to be thankful for I just have to tell you all about it.
First of all Donna's Head aches are better and plans to attend the retreat.
(praise the Lord)
Jasmine and Dawn are better (very bad colds)
I am feeling 99% better Praise God!
Patti's daughter accepted the Lord this week and her and her husband are attending church in Ohio....Praise the Lord
And our dear friend Joyce is ok. She and her husband flew their plane to Florida and at landing the right engine stalled.. God was not finished with them yet and they landed ok. she said she thought she was going to see God face to face last night. Praise God she is ok!!
We have so much to be thankful for. I am in awe of our gracious God who loves us and shows His love for us, that even while we were sinners He died for us and gave us hope!
One of our verses for Friday night at the retreat is
Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the Kingdom will be preached to the whole world as a testimony to all the nations and Than the end will come.
We must go, we must work, we must do what God has called us to do..
and then someday our struggles will be over here on earth and we will enter our Saviors presence forevermore!! Oh what a day this will be!
Lets praise our Father today, cause he is worthy of our praise!
Love you all ladies, see you tonight!

Great memory! I don't think so!
"Great Memory" do you have it or not?
Your friends says to you "I’ve got to look up the Miller’s number."
You say “Oh, I know it. It’s 333-36 . . ."
Don't we memorize all the time, don't we memorize every single day?
Don't we say to our friends “So if you take I-69 to exit 41, then turn left at Dippy Burgers . . .'You'll find a great new store"
For some reason we can remember information that we use or think about a lot.
If someone asks us about a movie "Oh yea that movie was directed by Frank Capra. It came before It’s a Wonderful Life."
So, My question is why does it seem so hard to memorize the most important things?
I hear this all the time and I am right there with you; “Oh, I’m so bad at memorizing Scripture." “Yeah, I just can’t remember it.”
Memorizing the Word of God will cleanse and renew my mind. It’ll help keep me from sin. It’ll help me say NO to My flesh, and it will protect me from wrong thinking patterns. I think I can memorize more than I think I can.
“Okay, I’ll quiz you first. Let me hear it.” next time you see me quiz me Ok?
“Psalm 119:97. Oh how I love your law! It is my meditation all the day
If I truly believed this verse I don't think it would be hard for me to memorize the word of God. If I truly believed that I loved the word so much that I need to meditate on it all day and all night I would be memorizing it today.
My pray of confession: Lord I confess to you today that I am not where I should be in memorizing your word. I do want to know your word and tuck it in my heart, so that everyday as I need your word, your words will speak to me. Lord help me to put this first in my life. Help me to truly love your words like never before. In Jesus name: amen......
Are you with me to? If you are let me know...post how you feel
Love you all

Please pray for Chad today as he goes into surgery to mend that foot.
Please pray God will move in a mighty way in the family and they will see the

Ladies this is a great song that Donna Bontrager did for the retreat.
I refuse to not do what God has called me to do.... This is my heart.
When I heard this song I thought this is what we as followers of our Lord want.
I am reminded of the passage in Isaiah 6 where it says
Woe to me! I cried, "I am ruined! For I am a man with unclean lips and I live among a people of unclean lips and my eyes have seen the King the Lord Almighty.
Then one of the seraphs flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the alter. With is he touched my mouth and said "see this has touched your lips, your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying "whom shall I send? Who will go for us?
and I said "Here am I Send Me!"
Are you ready when God calls to say "Here am I send me"?
If you are tell me about it!
See you all this week end.
