Come laugh with me and rejoice
Are you wounded, fearful, with bad experiences
Don’t be fearful to dance again
Enter into my joy
Let your faith be stretched out again
Let me cover you again with my Love
The high places came down
To steal your laughter
Remember I laugh at your enemies
Come laugh with me and rejoice
Are you wounded, fearful, with bad experiences
Don’t be fearful to dance again
Enter into my joy
I’ll show you my mighty hand on your behalf
The enemy whom you see today
You shall see again no more
You are being delivered into the freedom of victory
Come laugh with me and rejoice
I give you the Kingdom
Don’t be fearful to dance again
Enter into my joy

CRIMSON CHIC RETREAT
I had an opportunity to attend a retreat with CBC New Braunfels women’s ministry, I was invited by my very good friend Linda. I was telling her that I needed to get away and wasn’t sure where, when, how. This came up at a great time. It was at River Chase Park, a gated park that was connected to a subdivision by the Guadalupe River. The day was filled with fair skies and gentle breezes could not have been a more perfect day. Immediately fell in love with the place and was ready for some refreshing.
The theme of the retreat was from Isaiah 61:10 I delight greatly in the Lord, my soul rejoices in my God for he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness … adorns me as a bride with jewels.
How wonderful the Lord cares about the details in my life and lavishes me abundantly with His grace. When I arrived I received a beautiful tote bag, pillow, snacks. We were to pick out a journal of our choice and pen. Later we were told that the team chose bible verses and placed them in the journal no two were alike. They were prayed over that the each woman would choose a journal that God provided.
How exciting, we were instructed to find a place to be still before God and to start with the bible verse given and listen for his prompting. My verse was Psalm 103:15 “as a man’s days are like grass that withers and wildflowers that bloom and die” excuse me what kind of verse is that? This wasn’t exactly what I had in mind. I thought …well… this is God’s word nevertheless I would research it when I got home. Then I got a gentle whisper that I couldn’t let go and felt I should just look up the references now. The bible I had was not the one with much commentary or dictionary, but there was some cross references. The first two said the exact same thing the third one 1Peter 1:23-26 had the same with an added sentence “but the Word of the Lord remains forever”. Wow! That was so powerful – the word of the Lord is forever, endures for all eternity. We were to share and the Lord is so amazing all day – this verse reminded me and the ladies that whatever the word the Lords speaks to you….that word can be trusted and to hold on, because His Word will remain forever.
Linda introduced me as a long time friend and said that as soon as I spoke she knew that the Lord wanted me to keep looking till I was satisfied that I knew what the Lord wanted me to know. It seems all day long and since that day the Lord has given me confirmation and elaborated on that simple word. I would have to admit that to keep learning I will have to keep in the Word and search diligently, consistently and to be available to hear when God whispers.
I pray you send out your light and your truth, let them guide me; lead me to the place where you live. Faith brings joy and God will not disappoint. Show me the wonders of your great love; your mighty arm protects those who run to you for safety from their enemies. Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings. Psalm 17:7-8

Surrender
Lay things (people, dreams, health, stuff, etc.) that concern you on the Altar.
When you do this you are giving the Lord the ability to resurrect.
Surrender… in surrendering IS the victory.
Jesus becomes your defender. When you surrender…
Jesus becomes your fighter. When you surrender…
Jesus becomes your healer. When you surrender…
Jesus will restore (inside out). When you surrender…
Jesus will clothe you with power and a sound mind. When you surrender…
Jesus will transform you to righteousness. When you surrender…
In your presence Lord I find mercy and grace.
In your presence Lord I will seek your face.
I will lay my life on your altar so you can alter my life.

The Power of God's Love on The Cross
We have been crucified with Christ, nevertheless we live,
yet it is not us who lives, but it is Christ living in us. Galatians 2:20
In my struggles, I find Your peace,
In my bondage, I find Your release.
In my burdens, I find Your care.
In my loneliness, I find You there.
In my weakness I find You strong,
In my sadness I find Your song.
In my questions I find the answers in You,
In my old ways I find In You ... all things new.

Great is the LORD, and Greatly to be Praised. Psalm 48:1
God is great. God is not only great, but He is the only one who is great. God does not tell us that He is the greatest, because that would mean someone else was great and God was just greater. God has no competition to His greatness. He alone is great and that settles the matter of greatness.
God is great and He will always be great. No one will ever beat Him, outsmart Him, or outthink Him. No one will ever take away His crown, or dethrone Him. God’s greatness will never fade, it will never be weakened, or diminish.
But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2:4-7
Because God is great, it means that His love is great, and He loves us more than anyone could ever love us. He greatly loves us today, not because we are great, but because He is great. His great love, loved us when we were in sin, in darkness, and in spiritual death.
What does His great love mean to us? It means that we, who are not great, can pour out upon Him great praise, great worship, great thankfulness, great obedience, great trust, and great devotion.

Romans 1:20
Look deep, deep into nature,
and then you will understand everything better.
~Albert Einstein~
For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
