2006 has gotten off to a great start...I am not sure where to begin. I had a chance to be a retreat speaker for a Women's Retreat in Pennsylvania. I was blessed to have my daughter Ashley accompany me as my "techy"...but she did so much more.
You see, when we arrived, I realized that I lad left all of my teaching notes in Ohio. I wanted to make a run for it...but Ashley reminded me that God would not let me down and she helped me to reconstruct all 4 talks.
We had an amazing weeekend. Several women shared what God was calling them to do. What a great group of women.
The following weekend, I spoke at another retreat for Hope Community Church. It was an amazing experience to worship with 130 other women fromAthens Community and other churches.
I spoke on the woman at the well and the conversation that she had with Jesus. In the closing session, I spoke about how we all have dreams that the Lord has given to us and we need to be obedient and do what he has called us to do. Some of the dreams that women shared with me were:
One lady wants to start a moms in touch group
One lady wants to start a group that would pray for their city
One lady wants to be a retreat speaker and a writer
One lady wants to write a book about her life
One lady's dream was that her daughter would be healed.
I was humbled to see how God wants to use each woman in a different way. We are going to try to start a once a month lunch or coffee where we come together and encourage each other in our dreams.
I still stand in awe of what God did this weekend.
He truly is amazing.
