Retreats

Get a bunch of women together and what do you have?    A WOMEN’S RETREAT.

I had the honor of speaking at FRAMEWORK 2016- A Women’s conference hosted by Christ United Methodist Church and held at Timber Creek Campground.  It was the bomb.com  Not because of my speaking, but because there was such a sweet aroma among a group of ladies who came together to share pieces of their lives for the Glory of God. I led a Yoga Faith class that Saturday morning to get the day going and what fun that was.  In April of 2019 I put on a Christian Skit for the Mississippi Church of God conference.Boy was a nervous walking out onto that stage but truthfully it was a BLAST.  I got to dress up in panty hose, wear a wig and act crazy.  Some say I’m perfectly suited for that. haha  I say Laughter is good for the soul.

I have a friend whose skin crawls when you mention the words “Women Retreat”.  She thinks that we get together, sit in a circle and hold hands, cry and sing songs. She has made me laugh many times expressing her feeling about this to me.  Her favorite saying about women’s retreats is, “I’d rather have an enema”.   GO figure.   So……. if you are wondering what we really do at a women’s retreat let me see if I can clear it up for you.  This is where we bring a group of women together for a creative, fun-loving, spirit filled weekend. This is an event to equip, encourage and lead women into an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. It’s also a time for women to just “take a break” from the hustle and bustle of their lives.  It’s a time of encourage to stand on the idea that  you are ” Made by God, redeemed by Christ and gifted for service.”

At the age of 15 I felt GOD calling me to something special. I actually walked the aisle of my local church and made a profession of faith in Jesus Christ.  I spent many years of my life trying to understand the fullness of that call. Truth is we are all missionaries in our own right. Isn’t that what we have all been called to do. Each and every one of us.  All the loss of loved ones in my life has made that call  become clearer and clearer to me. Soon after the death of my husband  (Dennis-2014) I found myself ministering to other woman who had lost their husbands. That was not something I would have ever chosen to do but I learned through those times that a call is something that God ordains and you just show up and be available for. What a joy it has been to sow into the lives of women who are broken for a season.

I’ve had a lot of fun through the years sharing  stories about my messed up life and what God has done to heal me and rescue me from  many things.

Topics that I’ve spoken on before are:

Seasons of a woman’s life,

Good Girls, Bad Choices ( you are who God says you are),

What kind of old woman will you meet? (take a journey through life),

Why Weight? Fitness & Nutrition,

Your Knight in Shining Armor!! ( get it right the first time)

Heavenly Chef (Cookin’ It up with God)…

Soaring to New Heights – I don’t have a husband( story of loss and finding hope)

OR …. We can create a topic special for your event.

I would love the opportunity to come and share at your next event and of course the invitation is always open for you to join in any RETREAT  I may plan in the future. Keep in touch for updates.
