Spring Fever

I wish I was talking about that feeling you get at the end of winter and the beginning of nice weather, and all you can think about is getting out in the sun... unfortunately, I'm NOT...

Somehow Darren and I have both come down with awful 'Spring Fever' colds!!!!

One day, your feeling great... life is good and the birds are singing!!!! The next day- you can't breathe, your head hurts, your hot/ then your cold, you are sneezing, coughing and don't sound anything like yourself...

On my desk at work today I've got cold pills, tissues, tea and cough drops!! Not a pretty sight, but Praise God for modern technology that creates such things to help us feel better in our time of illness----

Shiktehawk

This is the scripture that the Lord guided me to this weekend... or I should say, just one of them... and how powerful this one is to me and what I've been walking in.

Galatians 5:1- So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don't get tied up again in slave to the law.

The Lord spoke loudly this weekend to His daughters.... what wonderful work was done! The only way I've been able to explain this weekend to those that ask is "painfully beautiful".... God is good like that! Not only did we all hear from the Father this weekend...but we had great prayer warriors with us interceding for all the ladies there..... the worship was blessed and the alone time was hard, but a 'hurts so good' encounter... and the fellowship was precious!

Time away with God

As I finish up the last minute details and packing this morning to go off to Camp Shiktehawk (our womens prayer summit).... I'm meditating in my mind on Hebrews 4.... entering the rest of God.... what does that mean? Is it a spiritual rest or a physical rest?... Is it something different for every person? In the crazy, busy, stressed out, over the top and nutty life we all lead.... how do you actually find the time to rest in God... Sometimes I feel like my life is on fast forward and I have no 'stop' or 'pause' button.... and I'm sure I'm not alone in that feeling.... Well... this weekend I'm going to ask God that very question... I'm going to go to the Father...the creator of the universe, my Lord and my saviour.... and simply ask. Show us Father how to rest in you!
