Testimony Tuesday ~ Omaha, Nebraska

Suzanne League came to Rise & Shine Women's Retreat 2010 all the way from Omaha, Nebraska. Our Guest speaker was Lysa TerKeurst, president of Proverbs 31 Ministries. Read Suzanne words about how she was blessed by our prayer room, the fellowship with other women and how a message Lysa shared with us that day has impacted her to this day. Lysa's words about looking at others, “You are not equipped to handle what they have - both good and bad.” 

From Suzanne League:
God directed me to Rise & Shine Retreat through exploring Lysa Terkerst's, Proverbs 31 Ministries, website. I would have never found the Rise & Shine's site on my own. But more importantly the message I took home with me, the bonding with Christian women, with a true devotion to follow and serve our Lord. The love of Christ I could feel, especially in the prayer room. Humbling, anointed by the presence of our Lord.

We are rebellious carnal creatures, broken and wounded. Just because the "outside" appears like a pretty package, all together, everybody-can-count-on-us gal, is not usually so on the inside. Lysa told us several stories, but one that clearly remains intact in my mind.

The basic point of this story was, don't envy or wish that you could have the life circumstances of another. Because the Good comes with Bad for all of us in our circumstances. God is there and we need to be thankful, steadfast and supportive to each other.

Very much so looking forward to this years retreat. God Bless you (Rise & Shine team) for listening to Him, being Obedient to let Him lead you and us in a day of worship, fellowship and stretching, growing in our Lord and each other.

Thank you, Suzanne, for sharing how God used Rise & Shine Women's Retreat to impact your life! Your testimony is an answer to prayer.  It's so exciting and humbling to see what God can do when we follow His lead. We are so grateful that you followed His lead to attend, and that God answered our prayers for Rise & Shine 2010. We prayed that He would draw women there (all who needed to be there) and He sure did...women from all parts of Iowa, from Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana and one all the way from Nebraska joined us that day!  :)  We also prayed that He would prepare the hearts of the women to receive from Him and clearly move in our midst to change lives.  He faithfully answered!  Glory be to God!

We are looking forward to what He will do at Rise & Shine Women's Retreat 2011!! We look forward to seeing you, and all of our reading friends, there on October 29th to share in another great day that is being basked in prayer! Our guest speaker, Susie Larson's, messages will be focused on “Making an Ordinary Life Extraordinary”...sure to be encouraging, relevant and applicable to our ordinary, everyday lives!
