Women's Retreat

A few weeks ago our church had our Women's Retreat at the Rancho Las Palmas Resort, let me tell you it was a wonderful weekend.Not only did I get to spend a weekend with my sisters (except for Vanessa), and other wonderful ladies of the Bridge, I got a great feeling of faith renewal. It is so awesome to hear such wonderful speakers, women who have struggled in their own lives, they were not perfect and neither are we, even though we strive to be as women. I went on the leadership track and boy did God speak to me! To be a leader means to be stretched beyond yourself but you need to know the Gift of Limits, meaning you need to know how to limit yourself to what only God has called you to do. As a leader you need to let others know that you are real, that you are not perfect yourself, and that you have weaknesses also. It's amazing that God puts you in the right places at the right time. I got a lot out of what Tammy had to say, I got a lot out of the weekend and I felt so refreshed when I came home. It also helped that the hotel was amazing and SO relaxing, and that hanging out with the girls is always a good time! I look forward to our women's retreats every year and I am already looking forward to the next one!
