Perfectly timed for Int'l Women's Day I must say ~
here are her questions for us.
how would you answer?
This Friday-Saturday is our annual Women's Retreat at my church. It's one of my favorite 24 hours of the year, because we enjoy each other, we laugh, we cry, we support each other..and all of that good stuff! So, since I am in the WR mode, let's talk about women in your life!
1.Name a woman author you very much love to read.
Agatha Christie tops the list when I want to treat myself to timeout with a book!
2.Name a woman from the Bible with whom you would
like to enjoy a nice long coffee talk.
definitely Deborah found in Judges 5.2-31 or + Abigail 1 Samuel 25:3
3.Name a famous woman from history with whom you would like to have lunch.
Jane Austen ! great humour and insights ~ great conversation...
4. Name a living famous or infamous woman with whom you would
like to go out to dinner.
Moya Brennan - especially if dinner is in Ireland! love her, love her music...
5. If you could be SuperWoman (o.k., I know you already ARE)
what three special powers would you like to have?
well...
1-instantaneous travel - {probably a particular word for this}
feel free to educate me if you know the word! yep! just found a like-minded traveller, Teri, who blogs over at Clever Title Here who says it is "apparate" ~ Thanks Teri! From Latin apparēre (to appear) in late Latin, as of a servant who appears on being summoned
2-healing
3-i'll add it when i've thought a bit more on it...
Fun Friday Five Rev Kjarla ~ Thanks for the challenge!
now
I'll join you in your reveries about women's retreats ~
I'm anticipating one coming up April 13 & 14 in Maplewood MN {St Paul}
"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart
and with all your soul and with all your strength
and with all your mind;
and your neighbor as yourself"(Luke 10:27)
I’ve enjoyed the opp to review of Jennie Allen’s
beautifully packaged dvd based 8 week study
of the places we, as women, get stuck
& the God who sets us free... The package includes the dvd with sessions being under 10 min
study notebook presenting the material for the theme of the week,
allowing for advance prep enabling in depth group interaction~
participants have 4 choices of projects directed at applying
the week’s scripture which provide additional discussion interest
of the project experiences. An intriguing addition to the package
is the deck of cards.
Intended to ask questions for reflection on the week’s theme
of stuck, broken, mad, sad, discontent, scared, overwhelmed, unstuck,
and to initiate deeper conversation on one’s state of
growth or current area of being stuck.
fascinating! Jennie’s underlying principle for STUCK ?
“I believe growing in our perspective of who God is
and what God has for us
changes the way we view our past hurts and current struggles.
Nothing is more powerful than God getting bigger in our lives.
God has the power to heal with a word.
My goal as you walk through STUCK is that God would get bigger for you,
and {as this occurs},
you would see a new way to do life,
lead by God’s Spirit.”
more resources are available from the online site www.MyStuckResources.com
including bookmarks, posters, brochure inserts... If you’re looking for a participatory product that meaningfully moves women
beyond a typical study group,
this just might be worth your second look ! Be Blessed in your journey of a Spirit led life...
