It’s Spring Break ~ Woo Hoo! :)

Hello dear friends! 🙂

OK, so I must admit that’s not really my vacation picture, but we are officially on Spring Break this week! We are “stay-cationing” this year! If you missed my post on stay-cation ideas, you can check it out here! 🙂

Since it is Spring Break, I’m going to take the week off from my blog. The kids and I have many fun adventures planned, and I want to give them my full attention! However, before I unplug for the week, I did want to share just a couple of fun updates with you…

* Next week I’ll be celebrating the 1 year Anniversary of *She Sparkles*. I have lots of fun giveaways planned (all my favorite things!) ~ so mark your calendar for Monday, April 12th, and be sure to stop back for a full week of fun and celebration! 🙂

* Speaking of “stay-cationing”, the Grand Rapids Press shared a fun article on our family and some of our Spring Break ideas. You can check out the newspaper article here. (Yes, that’s the front of my house being colored in chalk while I watch. What fun!)

* Also, I am pleased to announce the ticket winners for the A Woman Inspired on-line Marriage Conference! As I’ve mentioned before, I’m humbled to be able to present at this awesome on-line conference this May. The following readers will receive a free ticket to the Marriage Conference:

Theresa from Seeking the Old Paths

Denise from You Never Know Jesus is All You Need…

Julie from Come, Have A Peace

Melissa from Multi-tasking Mama

A huge thank you to all who entered! 🙂

* Lastly, if you live in the Grand Rapids area, we will be starting our new Magnificent Monday Bible Study next Monday, April 12th! We would love to have you join us!

This Spring, we will be watching Beth Moore’s teachings “A Beautiful Mind”. We gather from 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM at Sunshine Church (although women from all over the West Michigan area attend). So far we have almost 90 women signed up!! Woo Hoo! 🙂 Please feel free to contact me for more information. All are welcome!

Have a GREAT week filled with much love and laughter!! Thanks for stopping by *She Sparkles*!

God’s richest blessings to you!!

P.S. Don’t forget to stop back on Monday, April 12th as we celebrate 1 year of *She Sparkles*! 🙂

Cindy mentioned each woman at least once by name throughout her sessions.

"As women's ministry leaders know, finding a speaker who is Right AND Relevant is quite a task.

God led us to Cindy last spring as a speaker for our fall retreat at Mackinac Island. Even then, I did not realize what a gifted messenger she would be.

With almost 70 women present, Cindy mentioned each woman at least once by name throughout her sessions. She did not shrink back from telling her testimony, as difficult as it must have been. And she opened the book of Revelation to our ladies with insight and application like few women I have ever heard.

Thank you, Cindy for marking this retreat as a milestone in women's ministries at Woodside Bible Church. Praying we will never be the same."

Cindy’s enthusiasm for the Lord is contagious…

"You will find no one more highly motivated to see lives changed by God’s love and grace than Cindy. Cindy’s enthusiasm for the Lord is contagious and many women have testified that she has ministered to them from the message she delivered.

Cindy’s personal testimony has been one of transformation for God’s Glory. She continues be used by God through her testimony for the many women who have had similar life circumstances and for others who can see what God can do!"

Several attendees have continued to comment on how great she was months after the event.

"Cindy came to Texas and lead three sessions during our overnight Fall Women’s Retreat. Each Biblically based session was well thought out and touched each of us as she dove into finding balance in our unbalanced world. She made sure to tailor the message to our audience of multi-generational women in all stages and phases of life. However, it was in the ‘down time’ that Cindy deeply connected to several of the ladies who were so moved by her messages that they later were able to share private tears together. It was lovely to see God’s hand of healing being brought to the ladies of our church through Cindy’s powerful words and gentle spirit. Several attendees have continued to comment on how great she was months after the event. Cindy will be a great addition to your event/retreat too."
