Are You on Your List?

What list? The one that has your spouse, your kids, your grandchildren, your work, your career, your housework, your church, your friends….all those things that you work hard at every day to love, nurture and keep “running smoothly.” Well, are you on your list? We ladies seem to forget and purposely neglect to take care of ourselves and nurture ourselves…to give ourselves rest and renewal…physically, mentally and spiritually.

Jamee and I had a long wonderful weekend basking in the Spirit and trying really hard to just listen. We feel very strongly that the Lord is leading us to focus on this subject this year.

Remember at last year’s Summit we touched a little bit on this? Jamee and I will carry on praying that the Holy Spirit will continue to confirm this topic in our hearts and lead us to plan sessions according to His will. We ask that you do the same.

We are lead to use the following Scripture for the weekend:

Isaiah 30: 15-18
For thus said the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel: In returning [to Me] and resting [in Me] you shall be saved; in quietness and in [trusting] confidence shall be your strength. But you would not,

And you said, No! We will speed [our own course] on horses! Therefore you will speed [in flight from your enemies]! You said, We will ride upon swift steeds [doing our own way]! Therefore will they who pursue you be swift, [so swift that]
One thousand of you will flee at the threat of one of them; at the threat of five you will flee till you are left like a beacon or a flagpole on the top of a mountain, and like a signal on a hill.

And therefore the Lord [earnestly] waits [expecting, looking, and longing] to be gracious to you; and therefore He lifts Himself up, that He may have mercy on you and show loving-kindness to you. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) are all those who [earnestly] wait for Him, who expect and look and long for Him [for His victory, His favor, His love, His peace, His joy, and His matchless, unbroken companionship]!
