Women’s Retreat January 23-25, 2009

I had a wonderful time at Chapel Rock Retreat Center with the lovely women of Estrella Mountain Church of Goodyear, AZ. We worked through the 5 steps of The Intentional Woman process together. Lots of fun, “ahas”, some tears, many smiles, prayers, music, laughter and stories. Truly this is a group of intentional women with hearts for God. Thanks to Ann Knister, Estrella Mountain Women’s Ministry Director and her team for such a great weekend. And thanks to Beth’s Aunt Leslie for connecting us!

"If you have ever thought of praying even a part of this prayer, perhaps it is time for you to breathe in and gently EXHALE. Joan knows how hard it is for determined and caring women to let go of unrealistic expectations and step into the relief of imperfection. And yet this is exactly what God wants for you. “The Relief of Imperfection” will encourage you to believe the truth about God, others, yourself and reality, thus releasing you to relax and celebrate your life."
