A Weekend of Shifting

The Art Of Thinking Brilliantly with Graham Cooke

I recently attended a conference with some dear friends at North Heights. It was an incredible weekend! It was one of those times where you really get an "upgrade" as Graham Cooke says. Each session took us to the new step. The first was a time of "giving back our stuff". We had been in a season of stress as a family. The dream Graham shared opened up a whole new understanding to me of my own soul. As Graham shared how Jesus dealt with him when he allowed fear and worry back in to his life. He dealt with me as well. Jesus had pointed out to Graham how He paid for those things and were his. He wanted them back - I knew I had some of the same things to give back. It was the beginning of a weekend of re-surrendering the stuff I was "stressing over" back to the Lord. I went home that night with a fresh, clean feeling in my soul. Jeff couldn't imagine how much it would be of benefit to him as well. No husband wants a cranked up wife. :)

Anyway, the new day we learned about how problems don't exist in heaven... only promises and possibilities. We learned to re-frame ourselves and to also let our relationships get re-framed. Part of re-framing was about getting a heavenly perspective on both of those things. Then our final focus was one we all could work on forever - getting to know God's goodness. Wow! It opened up an understanding of knowing the Lord with a new depth, plus sharing His goodness with others... letting that share His love with others by helping them see His goodness.

I have been reviewing the CDs of the message and preparing my heart for the upcoming conference! I can hardly wait for the "Upgrade Life" coming in April.
