Good Reason to Exhale!

Here’s a good reason for me to take a deep breath, exhale and release my re-occurring “trying too hard to make it all just right” approach to life, work and ministry: Give all your worries to him, because he cares about you. 1 Peter 5:7 NCV

Thanks for caring so much and pursuing me, Lord, even when I ruminate, run, and isolate. Tonight I'm praying like author Ken Gire (Reflections on the Word) did when he wrote, "My hope, O God, my only hope, is that you are more persistent in your seeking than I am in my hiding." You are, indeed. Now I'm going back to sleep.

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!
