oh Mighty One...ride on

so the retreat was really spectacular...mor than that, God showed up. He has proven Himself faithful again and again and again and again...He used me in ways i didn't expect and poured into me more than i expected.
new memories:
sand crabs
tons of food
late nights/early mornings
jessa's powerful prayers
the Holy Spirit
joy...uncontainable
abiding in love
my incomprehensible Lover
giant helicopters :)
fantopia [a new culture:)]
worship...in all aspects
basketball
sand...everywhere
victories for many
daughters of jerusalem
sunsets
shout unto God
and more.......

cover me in the secret place where You dwell...

so i'm packing...once again :) i am heading off to laguna beach tomorrow morning and i have to say, i am quite excited...
laguna brings back memories of :
pictures
small bathrooms
cuddling with jessa
beach volleyball
kaitlin's intense competition
cold pools
caitlin's talks on the beach
quiet times with the Father and the misty wind
visions
the new song
realizing that He sees me as a pure bride
getting to that place in worship where it's just me and Him

...i wonder what kind of memories this trip will create.

overcoming.

john 16:33 "i have told you all this so that you may have peace in Me. here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. but take heart, because I have overcome the world."
1 john 4:4 "you are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world."
1 john 5:4 " for whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world--our faith."
1 john 2:14 "I am writing to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one."
john mark mcmillan "the blood of a Husband silences wars for the girl who arises to meet Him. and she sings, 'world, i've overcome you, world...by my song and the blood of a Son' "

He has overcome so i didn't have to...
oh such a wonderful thing to know.

change in the wind

update on life:

the Lord has proven Himself faithful....yet again. He's
changing things that were causing grief and fret in my heart and others. He is
in the restoration business :)my brother's in kansas city having a great
time...without me. (but i'm okay with that)i'm taking the act in
october...finally.

so life is good, but only because He's good.

"you have been drafted into a world that feeds on things that are impossible...the significance of having an effect on eternity only takes place when your gift is like the sail of a boat that the breath of God blows into. tt has purpose only with wind.
apart from wind the sail has no purpose. the giftings in our lives only serve
purpose when the supernatural breathes across whom we are and what we have to
offer." -bill johnson

there is change when the Wind comes...
