How big is your God?
Comments from the 2006 women's retreat
I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed the women's retreat. I
normally don't do women's events because they tend to really be mom's
events. (Continue reading...)
Last year's retreat was absolutely wonderful. This year's retreat was absolutely
wonderful times two! How does it just keep getting better? (Continue

What was so amazing was to see all the different ages of women, and from all
walks of life (new moms, "old" moms,
single, divorced, remarried) come together for one purpose ----- to draw
closer to God (Continue reading ... )
It was a very refreshing time with great teaching about how we make God
small in believing lies about Him based on our feelings and circumstances.
Very Powerful. (Continue reading ...)
As the sun beams into my husband’s office this morning, I can’t help
but turn my thoughts back to last Saturday morning on the beach. Beautiful
morning, sun beaming, cool breeze and the waves lapping over ever so gently. God

I too was blown away at God’s faithfulness last weekend. I was blessed

our own body! (Continue reading ...)
I wanted to let you know just what a HUGE blessing the retreat was for me. I
was spiritually encouraged and challenged. I was uplifted by such kind

I would like to share with you my experience with this year's retreat,
how awesome our God is, and how grateful I am to have made so many new
sisters in Christ.
When I signed up for the retreat I was expecting to get a relaxing
weekend away from my hectic family life, and connect with some new

me.....and I gotta tell you, if I had known his plans, I would have
stayed home. (Continue reading ...)
