How lovely is Your Dwelling Place, Oh Lord, God Almighty!

Wow! What a weekend we had together up at Covenant Pines in McGregor, Minnesota! This was the second of two retreats and God blessed us more than I can say.

Over and over again, God chose to remind us that we are LOVED and we are CALLED. My words were met with great warmth, enthusiasm, and excitement. When you have a group that shows up, expects God to move and wants to hear what He has to say, you have a recipe for a compelling time. This is a picture of the beautiful, empty Covenant Pines Chapel, just waiting to be filled with ready and expectant women. Such women showed up and God blessed us beyond measure!

Once again, worship was absolutely powerful, led by Andrea Lupino. If you need an excellent worship leader for your event, check my previous post for her information. She is a delight and an anointed leader.

At every session we were ushered into God's presence with powerful, heartfelt worship. We laughed and cried together, and above all, we were reminded of the importance of belief. We must believe that we are the object of God's love. We must believe that He sings over us, and dances over us, and calls us to His side. We must believe that we are everything to Him and can do all things through Him. We must refuse doubt, worry, and insecurity, and cling tightly to the fact that we are made in His image, and made to do great things.

We will sometimes be called to do things beyond our reach - wild, exciting, scary things. And we will at times be called to do things that seem beneath us, because this is how Jesus always lived.

These are critical days in which we live and it's both our privilege and responsibility to know our worth and to know that we're called.

Thank you, ladies for a divine time, celebrating our Beloved.

I love you all!
