*This is part of my 52 Saturdays Project

I think it’s what we all need—a time to, not just be alone, but to be alone with God. To detach from the world for a moment to be able to come back stronger. To unload baggages from the past to be able to run lighter. To allow God to break you down so He can make you whole again.

My first Women’s Encounter at SBCC was a spiritual milestone, I remember it quite vividly. I was given a deeper and wider perspective of what Jesus did in the cross for me, and to say that I was never the same since is an understatement.

Three Women’s Encounters later, last February 25, I had the privilege of leading a small group and speaking in two sessions, one of which I mentioned in that post. It feels so goood to witness other women have an encounter with God and come out of it overhauled. It reminds me how my life was changed when I had mine.

So it was a Saturday away from my house chores, from solitude, and from my husband. But it’s definitely one of those days I know with all my heart that I’m doing what I was made to do.
