What a Awesome time we had!!!
God showed up and showed off at our Second Recovery Retreat. Pastor Haman Cross Jr from Rosedale Park Baptist Church in Detroit and Pastor Marquerite Blitch from Life Spring women's Center and Grace Deliverance Ministries in Aurora surpassed our expectations in bringing the message that God had given them for us! Our theme was taken from Matt.12:20- "A Bruised Reed he will not break and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out
Haman spoke to us about being "Stuck in the Shadows"- I couldnt do justice in my writing about his message about living and being stuck in your shadow-instead of where God really wants you to be. Marquerite's message of "Setting your affections on things above" also took us to another level along with her powerful personal testimony of where God has brought her and what he is doing in her life!
The rain didn't damper our spirits as we worshipped, fellow shipped (is there such a word!!) and entered his presence. We brought our hurts, habits and hangups- God supplied us with hope, healing and happiness!!!
To all of you who prayed and supported this effort-thank you for listening to God and responding either financially or through prayer.
We are already looking forward to next year!
