Hello fellow sojourners. As we continue our preparations for our trip
to York, England we are so excited to see what God is up to. He is already at work among the team as we continue
to seek Him for worship music, messages, testimonies, fellowship, etc.
The team members continue to
meet weekly to lift all the details of this trip up before the LORD. It is so exciting when you know that He is
directing your path and prepariing the way for Himself to be Glorified. Thank you Father for allowing each one of us
to be a part of this journey.
Today, I just want to lift up
a prayer for all of the friends of Pure Joy International, Retreat Ministry,
meaning any and all that have contributed to this ministry in any way.
Father, as you look down on
this world and all the chaos you must see, thank you that you also see your
children in all their circumstances, joy, excitement, wonder, awe,
thankfulness, praise, pain, sadness, loneliness, hurt, anger, unforgiveness,
etc. Thank you that you KNOW ALL, that
you SEE ALL, that our PRAISES reach your ears, that our CRIES reach your ears,
that you know how to COMFORT us, and when to bring someone along side us and
when to let us walk alone until we recognize we are NEVER ALONE. You are God and there is none like You. So,
we bow our hearts to your truth and ways.
In the precious name of Jesus, Amen.
Here
is a verse to encourage you. It is one
of my very favorites to remind me to rest in Him. I love the line “But I have calmed and
quieted my soul, like a weaned child with its mother”. That line says peace,
pure peace to me.
Psalm
131
O
LORD, my heart is not lifted up; my eyes are not raised too high; I do not
occupy myself with things to great and too marvelous for me.
But
I have calmed and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with its mother; like a
weaned child is my soul within me. O Israel, hope in the LORD from this time
forth and forevermore.
Have
a great week and keep praying for all things York, England!
His, Vickie
