Cottonwood Spring Retreat

Palette of a Woman’s Life

A life of Purpose, A Life of Persevering, A Life of Passion, A Life of Pressing On

March 4-5, 2011 Elegante Suites Hotel, Abilene

God created each of us to have a life that is rich, abundant, and full.

A life of Purpose: Presented by Libby Skaggs

Libby desires to chase after all that God has in store for her life. From mundane mommy moments to following God's call to third world countries, to advocating for orphans worldwide, Libby wants to live everyday with the purpose that God ordained for her life.

A life of Persevering : Presented by Melody Warmerdam

We know that James 1:2 states, “Consider it all joy whenever you face trials”, but we all wonder... How? Melody has learned to persevere in her walk with the Lord through years of infertility and loss. A life of perseverance will bring freedom and joy, even in the midst of pain.

A life of Passion: Presented by Katy Davis

The dictionary describes passion as any powerful or compelling emotion or feeling, but what does God say about passion? Hear Katy as she shares her insight on the passionate life God is calling us to and how we all can choose a life of passion in obedience to God.

A life of Pressing On: Presented by Jeannette Maxwell

Jeannette believes that we should always live a life of pressing on, leaning forward, ready for whatever God has for us, never satisfied with life as it is today or held back by anything of the past. Be inspired to live, "forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, pressing on toward the goal.”

Times of celebration and worship in music led by Ashley White.

The retreat is a wonderful time to connect with other women of all ages and all walks of life, providing a great opportunity to make new friends. More than that, it is a time of true ministry from God’s word, and worship that will encourage and strengthen your faith. Be sure to invite your friends. We love having guests with us, and this is a relaxed time that anyone can enjoy.
