Prayer Retreat





It was our chance to go away and spend time with Jesus!
Meeting new friends..........Friends that are on the same path..............wanting more of Jesus!
Opening up our hearts with each other and reaching up to the one we cry....."HOLY, HOLY is the LAMB."  Friends that are willing........to walk the walk with you!
Trying to follow.........going out on a limb wanting more of HIM.

That beautiful weekend did begin and now it's ended...........oh how I miss the pace of the mountain.
Leaving I know that I am changed.........never traveled this road before..........but I keep telling myself......Yes.......because Christ wins in the end.
.
The weekend left us happy but tired.......I crave more simple relationship..... the companionship that is only found in the tranquil rich space of His presence!  I am finding my way once again in uncharted waters. Knowing that He is charting my course!
The wind is blowing hard through the trees now can you hear it?  Can you smell fall is in the air? Summer is behind us now.....trying to inhale deeply the grace that Christ so gently offers..........and expand the lungs with the tasks of daily living. Pouring out my heart like dirty water. Wanting to learn to live life through the eyes of the eternal.
The leaves are changing............and falling. What is it that lies ahead for me or for you?
Is it unchanging peace?  Could it include spilling out more of me..............So only He can pour in?  Only if we chose the path that we have never walked before.
I still battle fear in this uncertain world? I am still battling the call to bend the lower for the sick and the dying.  It's time to stop complaining about where we are...........It time to step out and trust the one we love.
"JESUS."

Taking the road less traveled.............the path of discomfort of giving until it hurts could be the path of real learning.   Taking leaps of faith by bending even lower.............a road not traveled by many.........the path that will lead you right to Jesus' feet. The path where heaven's watching to see your next move. He will do the drawing...........drawing you closer and sharing your journey.

It's the path that connects and collects you...........rewards you and molds you.
It's in the quiet of scared places...........where His love and beauty truly shine.
The path to eternity is the discovery of relationship and companionship with the "King of Kings,
charting our course."
In the quiet of the morning is when I feel his presence. That gentle nudging.........come away with me. To soak in His presence like never before to be connected in a relationship that is bonded  through eternity.....He is knocking
will you let him in?

all of grace,
Robbie
