A Special Weekend

Scrambling, but still noticing the beauty around me, enjoying my school kids, purchasing items for a daughter's wedding, checking in on grandchildren in a little yellow house, and cooking a pot of soup on a cold, rainy day.

This weekend I will be sharing at a ladies' retreat in Canada. They've asked me to cover 6 sessions. One will be a Q&A (a bit intimidating, but God is good), one needs to be directed toward homeschooling issues, the remaining 4 are whatever. So, I'm thinking we will discuss topics that lend to building strength, bringing success in our service to the King, and causing us to endure to the end.

Session 1 - Enabled by the Word
Session 2 - Embracing Suffering
Session 3 - Entering Into His Rest
Session 4 - Enduring Joy: Real Strength

I am hoping to bring a blessing to these women. My earnest desire is to see them a bit more established in the kingdom, strengthened in the inner man.

May we all receive much from His Spirit. Would you pray to that end?
