LADIES: IMPORTANT FALL REGISTRATION INFO HERE, JOURNEY TO THE CROSS: Fall 2016.

Dear Sisters of WOW:

“Blessed is the man (or woman!) who delights in the law of the Lord…she is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields her fruit in season, and whose leaf does not wither (in time of summer heat!)
(Dr. A paraphrase)  Psalm 1


HAPPY SUMMER! The warmer temps are already arriving, but we’ve had so many “spectacular” days for worship, reading, and rest~ I pray you’re already in a new “rhythm…’ In line  with our closing devotional, let me reiterate that the enemy’s tool in the summertime, to thwart our time with the Lord, is DISTRACTION….he will accomplish by many and varied means! We spoke about the ever-present media/technology that we constantly have in our grip (phones) , as well as the steady stream of “nothingness” that come through a glass box in our living rooms ( sad!)
By any means, he will keep our attention “scattered,” so we must CHOOSE intentional focus on God’s Word an prayer.

 I recommend the earliest morning hours in this season, but any time of day is good for pausing with lemonade and His word in hand. Pick a new “place” and time for a spiritual “exhale” in your daily routine. Consciously let go of anxiety, and then re-fill your mind with the Good News of His watcher over ALL Things (see ISA 40!)
Psalm 1 is the record of the man who chooses to “walk in the way of the Lord, and meditate on His law day and night.” This will never happen until it’s cultivated in our life as a discipline.
The WOW Booklist  is a resource for your summer spiritual growth. Mark off one or many to devour in long stretches this summertime.
I will be missing you all!
