Live like it's real, because it is!

Were you in Waterloo this past weekend??

We had an incredible weekend with speaker Debbie Alsdorf, worship leaders Colleen and Grace, and singer Deborah Klassen. Breakout speakers addressed key issues facing women today - like how to parent adult children, deal with anger in a God-honoring way, marital struggles and divorce, happiness, thriving through change, and going deeper in prayer.

It was one of those weekends where you see God's hand on all of the little details, tying together the thoughts and scripture shared on stage in ways that no one could have planned but Him. :)

Going back to 'real life' after a transforming weekend away can sometimes hit us like a brick wall - we feel as though we've gone through a heart makeover, though our life situations often haven't changed a bit. "We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to His purpose." (Romans 8:28)

And let's remember the words of keynote speaker, Debbie Alsdorf who exhorted us all in our faith to "Live like it's real, because it is!"

Transformed,
Michelle
