Most of the retreats I speak at are hosted by a specific church, but this past weekend, I spoke at one that brings together women from a variety of churches. It was called the Connect retreat, and connect they did. It was quite a beautiful thing to watch women cross church and generational lines to learn about the Lord!
There were about 25 women at this retreat, and they chose my Be Still theme to study.
The first night, they shared dinner together, sang some songs, enjoyed some comedy, and played games!
This was the night Ryan served as Bob, the gameshow host!
We went to our lodging for the night before the ladies had finished their game night. We didn't want to overwhelm them too much from the start!
We came back Saturday morning to have breakfast with the women, and then we had the first of our three sessions that day. I loved how they structured this day - a great mix of worship, comedy, sessions, discussion questions, and free time!
Ryan and I also had some time to spend with our hosts, and that was fun too!!
We went back Sunday for the final session. It wrapped up a great weekend!
After we packed up our car, we made a slight detour...
...and then we hurried home to our nephew's birthday party!
Even though the Sunday wasn't full of many still moments, the weekend was full of a lot of beauty. I'm grateful to have met these ladies!

It's so fun to get a glimpse of you speaking!
What was that dessert you had?
Tamar - Thank you!
Anonymous - It's ice cream in a chocolate bowl with caramel and raspberry syrup - and pecans. I could have licked the platter clean all by myself, but we did actually share it.
Minus the raspberry sauce that dessert looks heavenly.
Odie - You mean that's not a serving of fruit? ;)
It probably is a serving of fruit for you! I am not a raspberry fan. You eat raspberries and I’ll eat the pumpkin pie. That’s my favorite pie!!
