Dancing Deer Retreat


Hello my blog friends, Sending out  a prayer request to those of you who come by my blog.  This weekend...Oct. 10-12 is the date of the Ladies Retreat  I am speaking at.  I am a little over a week into a nasty upper respiratory illness that has caused a cough that grips me till I am short of breathe.  Tomorrow morning I return to the doctor seeking help again so need your prayers for wisdom and direction on how they should treat me.  

Pray also for the group of women who will meeting at this gorgeous retreat center located near the coast in California. 

God has been fine toning my outline as I read and study and read some more.  Now today I am putting to paper all my notes into an outline that will be easy to follow so  I will not get side tracked. 

"Wise Hearted" is the heart of my three session.

  A wise heart is a seeking heart. 

A wise heart is a forgiving heart 

A wise heart is a courageous heart. 

To top that off I get to give the message before we take communion on Sunday which I count a huge honor.

Thank you for your prayers.

  1. I see the footprints of the enemy all over this illness. I will pray for the doctor's ability to find something to help you. But, greater still, I will pray for God's healing and strength and power to come over you as you prepare for the retreat. I know He wants you there, and I will pray for Him to remove the attacks that are striving so hard to deter you from speaking His words.

    GOD BLESS.

  9. I agree with all our sisters that your lungs, throat and all up into your head will be healed and all toxins flushed out of your system. May your mind be clear and your spirit be led by the Holy Spirit as you minister to the dancing deers.

  20. Thank you Lisa for your prayers. The doctors were able this time to pinpoint the issue and gave me medicine more suited to break up the problems in my chest. I can tell a difference after one day on the inhalers...I can breathe easier. Again thanks for the prayers.

  22. TC, I certainly felt the prayers of the saints. When I spoke I did not cough once and they girls said my voice was not raspy at all. As soon as I stopped speaking it all came back. My God is a mighty God...
