Hello all,
This past weekend I had the incredible opportunity to go on the Crossbridge ladies' retreat. Let me just say...this retreat was amazing. And so needed. After all the wedding craziness it was so great to get out in the middle of nowhere and be alone with God. As I write this I'm even having trouble describing the whole thing. It was just plain fun. The crafting, the snacking, the laughing, the zip-lining (which I did not do, and have NO regrets whatsoever) it was all so great.
The speaker was so great, too. Such a gift that woman has for sharing the Word of God. The main focus was Womanhood and how to not be a wimpy woman. Because in Jesus we are all called to be active warriors in our homes. There are so many things that are trying to attack our families, and we have the active role of encouraging, fighting for, loving, and praying for our husbands and children. But at the same time we are called to be vulnerable with our husbands and families. I use the word vulnerable because I feel as though the word submissive has so many negative connotations these days. It is a delight, though, to be vulnerable and submissive with our husbands. Whew! I have so much repenting to do... Praise the Lord! I know my own heart had been so hard to being submissive to my husband, and the way that God so gently and tenderly spoke to my hard heart made the stone melt away. Have I mastered it yet, oh no...far from it, but I do praise God for the revelation and pray that He will continue to lead me to the foot of the cross so I will leave my old self there and put on the new person that Christ says that I am.
Love love,
Sarah
