Sweet Worship . . .
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come. Revelation 4:8b
"In worship we become preoccupied with the Lord. We don't watch something happen, we participate in it. It's coming to a place in our life, either alone, with a few or with many, where we "connect" with the living God. It is almost as though we could reach out and touch Him."
Pastor Chuck Swindoll
This beautifully describes what so many have experienced when they attend Retreat with Him. Worship of God, so sweet you can almost taste it. Praying for each of you who will join us in the spring for the next retreat. Date/place will be posted soon. www.retreatwithhim.org
You will fill me with JOY in Your presence. Psalm 16:11

Encouragement . . . for the Journey 2014
Treasure for the WEARY . . .
How do you handle weariness? We're all in different seasons of our life and ALL of us face weariness. From time to time, one way or another, weariness comes knocking on our door. Weariness can come as we take care of our family ~ our job situation ~ leadership position (secular or in ministry) ~ illness ~ busyness ~ you fill in the blank ________________________.
We don't have to allow weariness to swallow us alive or hold us captive. The answer to handling weariness comes from Jesus Himself in Matthew 11:28-30.
"Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
Pastor Chuck Swindoll says, "While so many others are demanding. Jesus is gentle. While competition is rugged and being in partnership with hard-charging, bullish leaders is tough, being yoked with Jesus is easy. Yes, easy. And instead of increasing our load of anxiety, He promises to make it lighter."
He always keeps His promises!!!
