BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE!
Bruised and broken, soulful and searching, loving and hopeful, beautiful women of courageous faith and extraordinary lives. A “Hedy Conference,” guided by the Holy Spirit, nudged us to Natchez Mississippi, into the old world charm of The Elms B & B, where we descended into the warm embrace of our heavenly father.
We came seeking greater intimacy with Christ, to humbly enter into his passion through the dusty details of desperation and darkness, which have drifted in and out of our human experience. In return we slipped into the, cascading river of hope that pours forth every time we are graced with the glory of our amazing God!
As I sat in this circle of faith, I felt the illuminating movement of spiritual muscle-pushing through the pain, pausing only to reflect on the pride that often keeps us prisoners to our own self-imposed sentences.
We entered the most intimate chambers of our heart, peeling away the layers of our lives, unveiling our vices and our virtues, honoring our gifts and our gratitude.
I marveled at the surrender and acceptance among the weary, as the spirit of wisdom-winding through our weaknesses, weaved its way deep into our wounds, and then ever so slowly, began to free us from the weight of worry.
It can be scary to dig deep, frightening to face ourselves, exhausting to exhume the details that sabotage lives. But with authentic honesty, these marvelous women braved the rocky terrain…Praying through the jagged and disjointed memories, and eventually reaching the summit of serenity that always comes when we seek God with an open heart.
Great movement happens when women of faith move together. The rhythm of truth and humility harmonizes so powerfully that lives are transformed.
It is my prayer as these beautiful women move through their lives, they will continue responding to the movement of their hearts and that they will take great comfort in knowing that Christ is with them, intimately, powerfully and eternally!
