Check out the new SunCoast Website at www.suncoastemmaus.com
It is still in its infancy, but the current men's team, pilgrims for their walk and gathering dates are listed. You will also find the 2009 Board Members-whom you need to contact and let them know how you want to help SunCoast set a new standard for excellence in serving God!!
Jesus Loves You and So does SunCoast!

Men's Walk # 53 rescheduled for Feb.26-March 1
The rescheduled Men's Walk #53 will be in less than two weeks.
Since the current website is being revamped with a new provider, we are not able to update it with the team names and the pilgrim names. I wanted to at least use this venue to get the names out and begin having community members pray specifically.
Please forward this site to any and everyone you know is a part of our community. If you have not signed up for prayer, please go to www.3day0l.org and do it NOW! A little known fact is that the prayer clock should be filled by members of our community-72 hours is 144 half hour spots. Wow, what an opportunity for us to all participate in the walk! (And if you think God is not really serious about us maintaining prayer coverage for the weekend then you need to talk to Jamie White!)
Also-don't forget Agape!
Send off is at 7:20 pm.
Saturday 4th day event begins at 8:30
Closing is at 4:30.
MARK YOU CALENDAR!
Keep you eyes open in the days ahead to see our new site and join us as we work to move closer together through the wonder of technology!
De colores!

Did You Hear the Thud?
Wow.
Just Wow.
Awe. I now know beyond a shadow of a doubt what it means to stand in Awe of the Lord.
All Emmaus Weekends are special. Last weekend was the men's walk. You could tell at closing that God had moved in a powerful way.
I know first hand He moved. I could almost promise you I heard a "THUD" when the power of the Spirit fell Thursday night. The only times I wanted to leave the chapel this past weekend was when I had to eat, go to bed or visit another throne room (know what I mean?).
Praying speakers in and out, praying over prayer concerns, worshipping the Lord in dance and song was just the most amazing experience. I have stood on Holy Ground. There were moments when I did not think I would survive-when I felt as if I was going to explode in the presence of God!
Wow.
God is so faithful. For months I have prayed to have my prayer life recharged. How I lost the fire, I don't know. I just know any flame was just an ember under the ashes.
Better watch out-this sister is on fire now!!!
Suncoast Emmaus-can you pray? God is calling us to pray for renewal of our community. The past three walks have infused us with new, young, excited blood. What are we going to do with it? Let it turn to embers?
I hope not.
I personally am going to be praying God will set us all on fire and we are going to burn up this part of Florida!!!
Let's Go Girls!!!!

Do we ever grow tired of fall at Dayspring?
I cannot wait for the time when I can hang out at Dayspring at my leisure.
You may not know this, but if you crave a time of renewal you can rent a room at Dayspring for a very reasonable price. Including those meals!
But tonight, at sendoff, was the best of times there. This cool breeze, like the Holy Spirit blowing around us and anticipating the pilgrims, is the best.
I am jealous my sweet husband is there for the entire weekend.
I AM READY TO RUN AWAY!
Pray for the pilgrims and team as they embark on their new adventure.

Welcome to the Whole Community
This blog was originally for the women of walk #50.
Now that the walk is behind us, we will open it up to the entire Suncoast Emmaus Community.
The first topic will be the upcoming walks-the first two weekends in October.
I encourage, pray, exhort you to consider attending any of the "Fourth Day Events" -they occur on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. If you have any questions about them, leave a comment here and it will be forwarded to my email.
Again and again, I am reminded by God that our Emmaus Community is a blessing from God. It always amazes me how our God gives us ways to move from surviving to thriving in this life. The support of this Community and the common base of our faith gives us the ability to face outward to the world and Press On.
Join me as pray for the growth of the community, for God's increasingly abundant blessings on the community, its members and our coming pilgrims.

Join us as we prepare for closing
We started with the end in mind.
A vision the whole team saw.
Prayers lifted daily from Palmetto to Port Charlotte to Deland to Indiana.
Women coming to answer the call on their hearts and their souls.
At the bottom of this blog you will find a new video clip. It is the song we will be singing at Closing.
We invite you-the Emmaus Community- to join with us and prepare for the greater things our God has for us!
Prepare to sing with us on June 1st and pray for us until then.

What an amazing God we serve!
Is there anyone on our team who has not already seen God doing amazing and wonderful things?
Sometimes I truly believe my main obstacle to God's Grace is my own self! And my earthly vision. I despair when I see all that is going on in this world that is wicked and unexplained.
Thank you to all my fellow team members who have shown me God is still working and walking with us. You do not know how much I needed a day of fellowship and laughter today.
Yes, after all we shared, you all know.
Remember, if Satan suspects what is behind the door you are about to go through, he will keep your eye on the door knob and make you fear it and not open the door. If you don't go through, you don't get the blessings.
I am honored all of you are willing to open the door with me next week as we journey with other sweet sisters who will grow with us.

Are You Getting "Flicked" as much as I am?
Fellow team members,
I just have to ask: Are you getting flicked as much as I am?
You know what flicking is. The tap upside the head that does not hurt, but it is certainly irritating.
These days my head is sore from Spiritual flicking.
It usually occurs when I am walking along minding my own business (yes, I do that from time to time). I will be bopping along, maybe into the kitchen, and there will be a whole sink of dirty dishes. FLICK - have I not told the boys umpteen times to have the kitchen clean before we leave for school?
Feet stick to floor - FLICK - have I not told them cleaning the kitchen means including the floor? at least ONCE a week?
Pool turns green - FLICK - did I not just clean the filter?
Grocery store clerk is unbelievably rude at the checkout - FLICK.
Groceries are more than expected - FLICK.
Doctor's bills are more than expected- FLICK.
Gas is way more than expected - FLICK.
Tripped going up stairs at work - FLICK.
After a while, your head gets sore from all the flicking and you only have three choices.
Evade - just put your head in a bag and ignore everything.
Endure-plod on through and hope no permanent damage is done.
Embrace - wooohooo!
You might know what Evading and Enduring looks like, but what does Embrace look like?
Praise God, Kids are well enough to eat and run instead of stand around and do dishes - FLICK BACK!
Praise God, I live in a home with a floor - FLICK BACK!
Praise God, I never dreamed God would provide me with a home that has a Pool! FLICK BACK!
Praise God, I get to smile with the love of Christ and really confuse the clerk! FLICK BACK!
Praise God for my husband's job and healthy boys who eat! FLICK BACK!
Praise God, those doctor visits were to find out how healthy we are! FLICK BACK!
Praise God, I have a car which gets great mileage with the gas I put in it! FLICK BACK!
Praise God, I have a job, and double praise God I did not fall going down and end up on my face!!!FLICK BACK!
So, as we face the final stretch to Send Off - let's run the race well, keep life in perspective and know if Satan is upset, we must be in God's will. Otherwise, he would leave us alone.
Press On Ladies, Press on!

Let's Make This the Prayer Request Post!
Waits for us
Someone asked the other day about where to post a prayer request.
So, let's make this the post for prayer request. Just add your prayer request or your written prayer for the upcoming walk as a comment to this post. We will all check back from time to time and keep each other lifted up!
Remember - if your eyes are up, you don't have to stare at what your feet are walking through!

Team Meeting Approaching
The prayers of the Saints are being answered! My "trip" has been shortened. The doctor said it would be weeks before my calf was better, but he was wrong! God was quick to answer your prayers for healing.
Please, be in prayer the next few days for pilgrims. I am asking for 20 by Saturday. It is a big order, but I believe we have a big God! Join me and be sensitive to God's leading. One of my greatest fears is that someone won't experience God's gift because I was not sensitive.
Please note the team list and preview dates below have been updated as of today.
See all of you on Saturday!
