When you ask God to do something that only He can do, He knocks your socks off!
I’m referring to a lot of things but recently to our registration for the February retreat. Every year I have been on my knees asking God to draw women to Himself and this year He is letting us know it is His desire. we have the wonderful opportunity to find extra rooms.He is calling women to slow down and reflect on Him and I know He will work out the room situation. Winshape has given us all the rooms we can have at this point but it appears that we can go to a hotel and get more rooms that are only a few miles away. we have space in everything else like eating and meeting and enjoying the property. It’s just sleeping. I can’t explain the excitement I have when after praying, go to the registration and see the number go up! I know every time the number goes up, it’s another lady God has called. Wow! All we can say at Cup of Joy is “This is for your Glory”!
So if you feel God is calling you to be a part of this weekend, keep checking with us because we believe if He calls, He will provide!
The theme is “The Bridegroom says Come”! (It was determine before registration) and I believe He really is telling us all to come. would you be willing to just sleep somewhere else and then enjoy your time with Him on the amazing property of Winshape? He’s calling! Our amazing Savior would like to enjoy a weekend with us focusing on Him!

As so many of you know, i have the privilege to come to Cayman and get a way from the “busyness” of Atlanta. Howard had to be here for a meeting so it didn’t take me long to say I would go!! I was walking today, as I love to do here, and listening to praise music. I began to pray and ask God what His desire is for me and His Will for Cup of Joy. I have been thinking about the name “Cup of Joy” and remembered when I chose the name and it had no real powerful meaning. I thought I like coffee so cup is cute, I love to have fun, so joy seemed a great word for fun (clean fun) so there it is Cup of Joy! Cute, don’t you think? But, today God has led me thinking deeper into His purpose for Cup of Joy. My thoughts today is that God wants to be my Joy. I think of the many names of God like Soveriegn, Peace, my Provider, just a few, but today I felt Him saying to me “Let me be your Joy!”
It was just a walk but the thought nearly stopped me in my tracks! I had to really think was Jesus really THE joy of my life? I pray He is, I really do want that! Have you ever thought about who is your joy? Take a walk or just sit for a moment and ask God where you find most joy. Is He the joy of your life, is He the joy of my life? That’s a great question. I think I need to take another walk. will you join me?
