Thanks Joel and Sue!

First of all, I just wanted to say thanks again to Joel and Sue.

Joel, the songwriter’s prayer was incredible. We prayed “give us words, Lord” and He answered our prayers by giving us His lyrics. We prayed “give us music, Lord” and He answered our prayers by giving us His music. We prayed “give us songs, Lord” and He answered our prayers by giving us songs that came right from His heart.

Sue, the message that you shared from Louie Giglio really blew me away – what an incredible inspiration! After gaining a whole new perspective on the awesomeness of God and His creation, I will never question again whether another “Great” song is just waiting to be written.

Many of us there this past weekend, came to the retreat carrying significant burdens: some of us with physical burdens; some of us with relationship burdens; some of us with family burdens; some of us with emotional burdens and all of us needing a touch from God in our lives. You both remind me of a well-worn metal watering can that we use to water plants around our house. The water is always available from the source, the plants always need the water, but without a “willing vessel”, the water many times can't get to the plants. It is such a blessing to watch God continue to fill you both up over and over again as you continue to be faithful to “water” so many others.
