We had a wonderful time at The Springs retreat last week. What a fabulous opportunity to join 18 other women in seeking the Lord. Most of us come weary from being very busy or from difficult circumstances and we needed to be refreshed. It is incredible what Jesus does to minister to each of us during this time as we remember that He loves us and desires to fill us up to overflowing with Himself. He is the Living Water, the River of Life, the Eternal Spring. All we need to do is come away and make some space in our lives to be with Him and we are refreshed. Isaiah writes: "The Lord will guide you always, He will satisfy your needs in a sun-scourched land and will strengthen your frame, and you will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail." It's amazing to watch this promise be fulfilled while we spend time in silence and solitude, in prayer and in The Word, worshipping and resting, talking with other women and being alone with Him.
Our next retreat is April 2-4, 2008 at Three Rivers. You can find sign up information on the NEWIM website.
