Two months ago God told me it was time to do another women's retreat. Where God? I am doing some at other churches but God was talking about a group of women from different churches, unchurched women, mothers, daughters, coworkers, neighbors and friends. Where, God? Out of the blue a friend said she would be honored for me to do a women's retreat at their place. WOW! Time to get busy! Before asked, people were offering to help.
After 2 1/2 years, I would be packing and moving into my new home! Mom was in the hospital a week and rehab six weeks. I was spending hours every day helping her adjust to new places. We had to pack and move her to a new place. This was God's idea and there was no way I could write two retreats or get the word out! I cried out to God and asked Him for His supernatural powers for His retreat! I apologized for making it about me. I couldn't do it but I knew He could. As I go through the motions He is sorting things out in my mind and giving me His words! He has brought to mind all new stories to share! Ephesians 3: 20, "Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us..."
This WAS HIS idea! He needed me out of the way so He could do His retreat, at the perfect time. Proverbs 3: 5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding..." I just have to trust! He continues to give me His Words and will bring His people! He brought me to it and He will bring me through it! Philippians 4: 6-7, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Instead of being anxious I now have peace and wait with great expectation! Thanks be to God!
