This weekend I had the privilege of “working” at SpringHill, if you could call playing, rejoicing, praying, talking with ladies, awesome activities, great food, and crafts, “work.”    Glenna Salsberry was our speaker, who spoke boldly from the word,  I enjoyed her immensely.    I had such a great time meeting so many new friends and hearing the stories of your hearts.  Here are a few of my favorite scriptures from the weekend:

This is the one I esteem; he who is contrite in spirit, and trembles at my word.  Isaiah 66:2

The Lord was not in the wind.. not in the earthquake… not in the fire… but in a still small voice.  1 Kings 19:11-12

The Lord does not look at the things man looks at.  Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.  1 Samuel 16:7

No one is like you, O Lord;  you are great, and your name is mighty in power.  Jeremiah 10:6

Our fall retreat dates are   October 5-7, 2012, with speaker RoseAnne Coleman and worship lead by Sarah Scharbrough.  I’d love to see you there!


Live. Move. Be.

Acts 17:28   ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’

We had such a great and FULL weekend around these parts.  I had a wonderful time, serving at the SpringHill spring women’s retreat.   It is unlike any other camp or retreat we do here, check out what our camp president has to say about it here.

There were over 75 women who joined in on the silk scarf painting!  Sometimes it is challenging to get people to branch out and tap into their creative side, as opposed to following a set example.   But here’s why I think it is so important, we are all created as unique individuals with a unique story and unique song inside of us.  I tried to challenge the ladies to work from their own heart and make their scarf an extension of that place they are at.  I am amazed at the diversity of each design,  truly we are made by a Creative God!

That being said it was awesome seeing each unique painting offering a glimpse of the individual story of the woman at work behind it.    I hope you enjoy  the pictures and I hope I get to lead another craft at our Fall retreat this year!
