Do you have a group of people that you know that allow you to be your true self? They're people who live out their lives in faith, authenticity, and humor. This weekend I got the deep pleasure of being with a group of women like that. The Women of the Word (WOW) group from Park Place Wesleyan in Pinellas Park, FL had their annual retreat, and I got to go along to speak.
This is the second year that I've retreated with this group, and I come away refreshed, encouraged and feeling fully myself. They are the perfect combination of godliness and looniness. All the laughter, affection and yummy snacks do a body good.
They've got me to thinking about lots of things in my own life. How authentically do I really live? How much have I invested in friendships? Am I honest about my own struggles, pain and fear (even to myself and with God)?
WOW Women, you wow me! I love each of you and hope that God's Word from Colossians 3 will bring us all into new places of obedience and greater intimacy with Jesus than ever before.
