This was the theme of this year's Women's Retreat. This was our 4th Women's Retreat in Western Australia. And, these women are really starting to open up and let God use them to impact their friends and their families and they are really starting to grow a deep trust and a relationship wit God. The picture to the left was our 2013 WW committee. We are missing one person, Gem. But, it was Shannon, Myself, Glynis, Pella, and Elaine. This year God used EACH of them to help with camp and many hands made light work for the first time ever! Each one of these ladies tackled, registrations, worship, decorations, welcome kits, games, you name it, they helped! I had an amazing team that let God use them! As a result, the weekend was an amazing weekend with 25 wonderful women. Juy 5-7th we went away to some cabins out in the "bush" and it was beautiful! It was cold! But, beautiful! God really worked on our hearts, and our minds. It was a beautiful weekend for ladies to build relationships and Laura and Rachel's Mum, Jo came away with us for the first time and she had an awesome time! Last year we had 18 ladies go, so I was really excited to see that we had 7 new ladies this year! We had 4 sessions where we did Biblical study and heard the Word of God through Annette Dobson, our Wesleyan Women director for all of Australia. And, then we had some game times, and craft times. We recycled t-shirt scarfs and had an amazing time. Although I was busy running the weekend and ended up having to cook three of the meals, it was quite relaxing and I felt God replenish my spirit!
Minute to win it games!
