Pics

Realized I didn't post pics from Fall Retreat...hahaha...or the lovely inspired song I wrote. Soooo...without further ado...IV Fall Retreat 07!!! (actually, just pics of land...haha...didn't take people pictures...i tend to do that...;))

Minnesota landscape. Contrary to popular belief, I actually do find it quite lovely.

Pretty trees. don't know what else to say...this is where we were staying.

YAY!!!

Nice retreat spot I found. Ended up coming back for my "retreat of silence"

Same, different direction...

SKY!!!

YAY FALL!!!

I think I did post my song...hmmm...oh well...here it is again...

if i didn't, here it is for the first time!!!

"Enough" (dunno what else to call it...lol) <----- (no that's not part of the title, neither is this)

As the wind

Rolls across the Earth

So Your love
Rolls over my soul
As the sky

Fills my eyes above

So Your grace

Overflows my cup

And I am in love

I am in awe

Of all that You have done
Of all that You are doing
For Your love

Is enough
To get me through my life and trials

And Your grace

Is enough
To give me strength and understanding

When I'm falling

As I live

As I breathe

Let my life be Your work

As I stumble

As I crawl

Let Your holy hands lift me to Your heart

And I, I am in love

I am in awe

Of all that You have done

Of all that You are doing

Your word
Is enough

It gives me courage when I falter

And I'm falling
And I, I am in love

Your wind it rushes over me and moves me
I am in awe

Your grace it lifts me higher than my struggles

For I am weak

And You are strong

I am dumb

You are my song

As the wind

Wraps around the earth

So Your love
Wraps around my heart

And I, I am in love

I am in awe

Of all that you have done

All that you are doing

You, You are enough

Enough to lead me
Enough to save me

Enough to love me

You, You are enough

And I am in love

I am in awe

Ok, pretty sure i DID post it...BUT...it's nice to repeat it...right now. ;)

First off, *sigh*, that moment...i had soooo much peace. And singing that song was like...amazing!!! lol. Just like a little secret between God and I...not any more but..lol.

And of course, that trip was when...well...I first felt that tug that said..."get out, change things!!!" And I started to, but not the way I knew I should have. Obviously, I was afraid, despite the words of my song. He is and was enough, but I was a little, freaked out.

So, now what's different? Well, FINALLY, I am working more in the direction I felt Him pulling me before. So, as I surrender, fully this time, it's interesting to reflect on that moment i first knew i had some changing to do.

Thank God I had more than one chance...lol. He knows I needed it. ;)

Oh!!! And that pic of "The Kiss" that I posted...yeah...not the one I did. haha. I'll get that one back sometime tomorrow, and i'll take a pic or something for all of you to see my lovely work. ;)

Hmmm...my room is too warm...man, i'm going to have a rough time (temp wise) back home!!! ;)

*kisses*
