You were made in Mystery, and you were made for Mystery. Your life is, in fact a deep and fascinating adventure. We want to help to Renew that Sense of Wonder for your life with God and those around you, because your Life is a continuous journey of Wonder."

Where is the Wonder in our lives?
We should wonder what this new day, and the Spirit of God, will bring us: how He will approach us, how He will surprise us, how He will challenge us. When you lose your ability to wonder, it is easy to misunderstand the mysteries that God wants to convey for your own life. In fact, your life is a deep and fascinating adventure.
Many of us have allowed routine and habit to take over our lives. When we wake up, go to school, go to work, attend meetings, tackle our lists, and forget about the ways in which God enters our lives each day, over time we become numb. Our routines begin to take over our lives and we allow our schedule to rule our day and our very lives.
So then we ask, “is there more to life than this?”
The answer is a resounding “Yes!”
This is the look of wonder ....
... in the eyes of two-year-old Diego as he rides the skiing gondola up the mountain. He is lost in wonder: excitement and awe and amazement at all the beauty and grandeur of God’s beautiful creation. Grace That Reigns wants to bring this same wonder back into the lives of all the people we touch.
We want the mundane, everyday tasks and the unimportant things in your life to fade into something bigger: the glory of God. We want you to see the mystery of it all. This is wonder. We at Grace That Reigns offer the gifts God gave us to help you renew your sense of wonder.
“I loved the Retreat. Thank you Bishop Gilmore and Jacqueline. Being reminded to take time to spend with God and being taught how to pray all over again… All things that I have not been doing as effectively. I know now that I have not been spending time with God when I pray. I have just been asking him to “fix” things, without realizing that I am not taking time to listen to him. I was drawn to the retreat. I had a strong desire to attend, – which is not normal for me. I wish everyone could experience this retreat.” Tony and Deanna Martinez - Great Bend. KS
