S2 Ep4 On the heels of our AWAKEN retreat, I found the stories of the speakers dovetailed with the Bible stories of Hannah and Esther in not only awakening to their calling, but in enduring suffering, in waiting for God to turn things around (which He always does for those who LOOK to Him!), and in pursuing hope and joy.

I mention Michael Card's song HOPE

And Corrie Stanway's ministry: Integrity and Grace

Here are photos of our retreat: AWAKEN and CROWNED
