What a great weekend..

Good Shepherd Community Church
Women's retreat @ Cannon Beach was this weekend.
God taught me so much.
The retreats theme was:

~ Coffee for the Soul ~

Have a Peaceful Mind:

~ Wait on God: be still ~

~ M.I.N.D ~
1. Mingle - Talk to God
2. Invite God's Perspectives
3. Note -2 Cor. 4
4. Dictate - Thoughts
(Faith is anchored in the invisible.)

Finding your Balance Point:

1. Psalm 136.
2. Figure out what will
please Christ, and do it.
3. Wait on God.

The four "P's"

1. People Pleaser - Gal 1:10
2. Perfectionism - Learn to say "Oh…. WELL"
3. Presumption - Prov. 13:10
4. Playing the Comparison Game

GOD desires to lead us into Balance

1. Begin on the knees: (Eph 5:10)
2. Accept your limits: God’s limits are as ordained as His releases.
(If your being pruned; think fruit)
3. Listen:
God’s assignments are season
and situation specific (Isaiah 55:1 – 2)

4. Alter your schedule:
I don’t want to grieve; I want to hope….

5. Name your season: Give yourself Grace….

6. Check your authenticity and congruence:
(Matthew 23: 23 – 25)

7. Echo God: A repetition, imitation, or reflection of what was seen of heard

The Power for what God can do…

1. Look for what God can do….
(John 9: 1 – 3)

2. Embrace the pain…
(Luke 9:22)

3. Talk with safe friends…
Proverbs 17:17

4. Give up control
(Matthew 26: 36 – 39)
5. Check your Outlook
(Philippians 4: 8 – 10)
Thank you everyone that Prayed for all of us @ the retreat....
