Women of Purpose Retreat (November 2013)

I had the privilege of attending the Women of Purpose retreat, which is put on for English speaking missionaries in Honduras by a group of women from the Marietta Ohio area. I went last year as well, but this time I was able to go for the entire weekend, which was a blessing.
One morning we talked about how God shows us His wonder through His creation: the vastness of the ocean and the vastness of the sky. Later as I was reading Psalm 139, I was struck by verse 17, "How precious are Your thought concerning me, O God! How vast is the sum of them." God thinks about me so much that it's comparable to His vast ocean and vast sky: I cannot, even begin to comprehend it. That's pretty cool.

God also used this weekend to remind me of His love through sweet times of worship, talking and praying with wonderful, Godly women, spending time in prayer and Bible reading, getting hugged by the WOP ladies, and times of much laughter with friends new and old!

Blessings of new friendships that bring Godly encouragement. 

Praying for one another as we took communion.

Having fun eating lunch together!
