If you haven’t had a chance to enter my “The Me Project” Giveaway it’s not too late! It’s a fun book ~ one I highly recommend! Be sure to enter! 🙂

Hey Friends!

Although my day started off extremely well (nothing like waking up to find a Starbucks latte left on your porch by a dear friend, thanks, Lins!) ~ I am experiencing new challenges, to say the least.

I guess that should be expected ~ with the Red Hot Retreat in less than 2 days. (Woo Hoo!)

So I AM GOING TO SPEND MY DAY IN WORSHIP! Besides my “Theme song“, and “Be Magnified“, I’m adding a new song to my arsenal of praise!

Have you heard Mandisa’s latest song, Stronger?? I LOVE IT!! It’s as if the words were selected for me and the difficult circumstances I am faced with today. (Thank you, Mandisa!)

Please turn up your sound, lift up your arms in praise, and join me in singing at the top of our lungs….

Friends, I’m not sure what circumstances you are faced with today…but may we allow the trials of life to make us STRONGER and more like Him!!!

Praying for you, my sweet bloggy sister, and asking Him to bless you in a special, powerful, and unique way!!!

Enjoy your Worship-filled Wednesday!

Of course Satan is all over you with the retreat coming up. That is just the way it works. I'm going through the same thing. Greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world. Press into Jesus!Leah

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."
