Sometimes when we think of the word retreat we think of giving up ~ pulling back ~ withdrawing. But what does retreating with the Lord look like? It's coming near, simply spending time with the One who made you, drew you to Him and wants to show you His love through His Word.
How can something so simple be so hard to accomplish? We can be so easily distracted and consumed with our "to do" lists that the most important thing is neglected. If you recall in the story of Mary and Martha (Luke 10:38-42), Martha was totally distracted by the "to do's" so much so, that she neglected to spend time with Jesus her Savior. Mary on the other hand as Pastor Chuck Swindoll says, "sat at His feet relaxed, content to sit quietly, and listen. Listening to Him took priority over commonplace household tasks." "Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her." Luke 10:42
On May 17th, 2014 we have designed a special day for you to come away from your "to do" lists and spend time with your Savior. A time of fellowship with women and a time to be refreshed and renewed so you can be more effective in accomplishing the tasks God's given you to do. Jesus often "retreated" to a quiet place with His Father to be built up and renewed. If Jesus in His humanity did this, how much more do we need this too.
