Those of you who follow the blog and the ministry know that the numbers for the Destination Retreat last weekend were not where we originally hoped they would be. But God had a bigger plan.
We prayed that many women from Denver congregations would come together in this event. God brought women from eight states and four Denver congregations. God had a bigger plan.
The breakout classes were designed for empty nesters, women with children at home, and women without children. The third class had only three women present, but we could’ve talked, studied, shared, and prayed all weekend together in the ways we connected. God had a bigger plan.
Some like to designate who is in what small groups and I can understand the wisdom of that. However, we prefer to be prayerfully random in the way that the small groups are formed, and then marvel at who God brings together. Because God had a bigger plan.
Minor hiccups along the way were overshadowed by the tremendous blessings. God had a bigger plan.
At numerous points along the way, I was tempted to cancel the event altogether, overwhelmed by the move and the responsibilities of the Destination Retreat. I’m glad we were able to trust what God had called us to and persevere. Since God had a bigger plan.
Seeing the lives touched, sisters encouraged, and the way God’s name was glorified through the Destination Retreat, I am so glad that God had a bigger plan.
As we focused on during the retreat, I invite you to place your life and your worries In the Hands of the Divine Gardener. Because the Divine Gardner is the Divine Landscaper and he always has a bigger plan.

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were men of faith. They demonstrated the type of faith we described yesterday—a faith in God himself, not just a faith in what God can do.
When faced with the fiery furnace, they did not doubt God’s ability to rescue them. However, their faith in his infinite wisdom, and their trust in his plan were greater than their hope for physical redemption.
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to him, “King Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us from Your Majesty’s hand. But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.” (Daniel 3:16-18)
Does your faith continue no matter what God’s answer to your prayers?
