| | Don't be tired. Don't be weary.
Pack your weakness in your bag and head on out.
He will be there. You don't wanna miss it.
You LIVE for this.
So we hit the road for Girl's Retreat tomorrow, and my system wants to gear down, not up, facing this next week. I am so tempted to rest right now, in all the wrong places; to look for ease and comfort here -
as if heaven were not coming to me.
as if He has ever left me without the rest and provision I needed.
as if my best and happiest moments have not been in laboring with Him anyway.
As I go to teach about a race that's worth laying aside every hindrance to finish, its funny how I find myself entangled with the affairs of everyday life. God, loosen the grip of my selfish, lazy heart and set me free to cherish YOU in a life that is real, exciting, demanding, and eternal.
Please Pray.
A lot of what we do at this retreat is minister to others through prayer. The warfare is spiritual in nature, and we're walking into it. So pray for your sisters as they prepare to be soldiers. Jenna, Lindsey, Christina Wine, Shaina Smith, Amie Danaher, Laura, Krissy, and Katie Hinton, Sheneka and Treneka Gross, Michele and Kristen Marks, Natalie Powers.
Pray for faith to believe Him.
Pray for physical stamina and health (which is questionable for a few of us right now.)
Pray for good, wise preparation so we'll be ready for whatever is thrown at us.
Pray for total sensitivity to the Holy Spirit; and for obedience.
Pray for the girl's hearts - that lies would be cast down and truth would enter; that God would heal.
Pray for God to overcome and work through any logistic/equipment problems, etc.
Pray that we would be protected from the evil one and be empowered to tear down his kingdom
Pray that we would love our Savior Jesus with a white-hot love.
While we are “out on a mission” in the remote location of Burkeville, VA, we will not have internet access much of the time. Please know that we love you, think of you, appreciate the war you are doing for us in prayer, and can’t wait to catch you on the flip side :P |
