Look Up! Timeless truths for trying times
"I lift my eyes up to the hills - where does my help come from?" Psalms 121:1 (NIV)
May 27th to 29th was a special weekend as 300 women celebrated the 20th Anniversary of the Women's Spring Retreat. Clevelands House Resort hosted the group who enjoyed inspiring sessions with Kathy Troccoli and Ellie Lofaro, fellowship by the peaceful waterfront and around delicious dining.
At our first All Nations Church Women's Retreat, Rachelle Royer gave her heart to Jesus. At our 19th Retreat, Rachelle's daughter, Caroline, made the same decision. Here is their story, in their words:
I was born in a Catholic home; my best friend was Presbyterian. One day she asked me to go to a women's retreat. I was thinking, "Wow, a weekend away from hubby and kids....sure why not." I gave my heart to the Lord that weekend and have never looked back. I got home and was baptized in April, 1993 at All Nations Church and have felt God's presence in my life ever since. My journey has been one of faith and hope. God has filled me with His peace and joy as I seek Him more each day. Life is not perfect because we become Christians; if anything, it becomes more challenging, but knowing God is with me and I am not alone gives me the strength to handle whatever the world may give. One of my biggest blessings was having my youngest daughter, Caroline, come with me to the 2010 Women's Spring Retreat, where God blessed her by opening her heart and letting God take control of her life. She is growing in faith every day and I am so very proud of her and thankful to my God. Never give up! God bless. Rachelle
This was my first retreat, and if I had to describe it using one word, it would have to be "heavenly". Being surrounded by women who all share a faith and divine spirituality was empowering. I made a choice to give my life to God during the retreat and have been on a path to build and strengthen my faith since that moment. What an incredible experience to share with my mom. My mother and I have always been close, and her faith has given me much support and guidance over the years. I now have begun my journey to share my faith with my children, hoping that they too can find comfort in the Lord during life's challenging moments, as well as their good ones. The 19th Annual Women's Spring Retreat was a true blessing for me, and I am grateful to my mother for asking me to join her in this amazing experience. I can't wait to do it again next year! I'm already registered! Caroline
