But GOD is bigger than all that! Chrysalis #41 is over. I feel very full. It occurred to me this morning as I was journalling that before time began God placed a hole inside of me that only He could fill but He also made a hole just big enough for 37 young women to curl up in. (I squeezed 44 in - the young women on the team stole my heart too!) Something happened to me on this Chrysalis. I was changed! I have been empowered. The word BOLD has taken on new meaning. I got angry. The whole time we were there desperately loving these young ladies satan was trying every trick in the book to stop us, to stop God. We fought confusion, pride, seizures, stomach illnesses, toothaches, heaviness and so much more. One of our high school teen team members fasted and prayed for the girls at her table. She's still fasting today. She bears a burden of love for them. She is fighting a battle. We all are as we continue to pray for their freedom. So much happened, so many victories. Faces changed from anxious to glorious. Smiles beamed where lips were taut. It really was an amazing and incredible time. Some went away with seeds planted deep in their hearts. Others went away blooming. I couldn't love any of them any more if they were my very own. They are precious children of the Most High God. And today they are back in the world. Our cocoon had to open and they had to fly.
Father, I pray today that the girls of Chrysalis #41 will choose you in every action taken or word spoken. That they would know who they are and firmly grasp the identity you have called them to. Give them confidence and strength to deflect all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Give them a shield of faith. Let them know they are not alone. Keep them close. Hold them near. Let them know and know and know that what they found this weekend is real. You are real and Your love is everlasting and unfailing. Protect them. Thank You.
If you would, please say a prayer for these young women if you read this. Thank you. And, oh yes, this battle has already been won. We know the outcome. God wins. Hallelujah!!

I am so glad that the Chrysalis went so well. I wish I could have worked it. That was an awesome team. I was where I needed to be though. I hope you have a blessed week. Hope to see you soon!
