There is just something about bringing women together – no make-up, hanging out in their sweats all weekend and pressing into God.
Back in 2003, I had a vision of doing just that… to go to every state, draw women together and create an environment where the Holy Spirit is able to restore, refresh and empower women! That and much more just took place at a “Women’s Empowerment Weekend” I had in Branson Mo. The Holy Spirit moved with great power but yet so tenderly as 21 women opened their hearts to receive in areas where they least expected it!
Here is a small taste of what happens when women come together – no make-up, hang out in their sweats and press into God!

Psalm 46:10 Be still, and know that I [am] God is what I keep hearing echoing throughout these mountains!
Reminds me of when I was a little girl and my dad would take me hunting. I always found it hard to nestle down and “be still”! Everything within me wanted to move. The more I heard my dad say “shhh…be still” the more itches I found myself having! Amazingly years later as a grown woman, I still find it hard to nestle down and “be still”.
Today is day three of a retreat and I’m trying my best to do just that… ”be still”! My surroundings are perfect for such an occasion… a beautiful log cabin tucked away in the great Smoky Mountains so high that a cloud floated into my bedroom through the sliding glass doors the other morning. That in itself is another story! The view is breathtaking. But none the less, I find it hard to “be still”. Something always has my attention; talking on the phone, checking my email, and texting at the same time. Yes I could have left those “itches” at home. But what if there was an emergency?!
As I try to ignore all the little itches of life I find myself pressing in and meditating on…
Psalm 46:10 Be still, and know that I [am] God.
The Psalmist description of “being still” is to sink down, relax, withdraw, abandon, refrain, and to quiet yourself. But my favorite description of “being still” is to abate. The apostle John sums it well.
“He must become greater; I must become less” (John 3:30).
So I asked God, show me my heart and that He did! Not in a condemning or shameful way but in His gentle and kind way, where you know without a doubt it is God speaking! He reminded me of how much I enjoy being the center of attention at a party – makes me feel special. Oh and how I love having the last word in a conversation – shows how smart I am. But most of all He showed me how I take great pleasure in the way He uses me while ministering to others. That I am most proud of!
Well…I was proud, that is until I began nestling in the clouds – learning to “be still”.
I find it very humbling and a bit embarrassing, realizing who I really am and discovering how much more He can be.
