Return
from Watson Homestead
Our
Women’s Retreat was phenomenal! We used Sheri Rose Shepherd’s His
Princess, Love Letters from Your King as the springboard for our
theme. Friday night, every woman got a tinsel tiara at our
candlelight supper and was escorted to her seat. The giggles were
contagious! Don’t we all need to be reminded that we’re royalty?
We’re Daughters of the King!

you love it on the Family Feud, the way Richard Dawson yelled out,
“Survey Says?” A survey helps you feel the pulse of attendees.
Asking open-ended questions is a way of nudging people to give more
feedback than a “yes” or “no” answer. There are many things you can
ask about on your survey: the schedule, the food, room
accommodations, cost, topic relevance, location, and so on. People
will take time to fill it out, if your keep the questions short and
sweet. It lets them know that their opinion is valued. Last weekend,
one of our questions was, “How did the Lord speak to your heart
while you retreated from your daily life?” Here is a sampling of
those responses. It takes a retreat to… visit with other gals come
to an understanding that it’s ok to not do everything recognize
answered prayer see God’s hand in my life learn to trust God’s
timing let go of the hectic pace of life find out that I’m God’s
princess get an opportunity to swim experience peace and joy find
time to shed baggage from home get permission to relax and enjoy
nature be reminded of our priorities in life become aware that God
treasures me when I don’t treasure myself bring me out of my comfort
zone get an attitude adjustment find out what free time is like be
still before God remember how to worship embrace the difficult times
in my life because God’s in control and all is well see how
important friendships are share your story find renewal and
restoration
What’s
New?
I’m
packing again! I’m driving out with a friend to her new home in
Utah. The three day trek will give us an opportunity to see God’s
beauty displayed across our great land. On the road again…
