Saturday May 22, 2010 was a monumental moment for Beauty for Ashes IWM. The 1rst retreat of many was held in Houston, Texas.
Yes, "There is Beauty Beyond Your Pain" Women's Retreat was a definite "WOW God!" moment.
The Scripture in IS 61 took flight.. there was present the broken, the wounded and even those that were whole but ready to elevate in the Anointing of God.
The days before the retreat were spent in prayer and fasting before God. There were women around the globe expecting a great move in the retreat. It occurred like a flood!
The enemy should have just be wearied and ready to get back because there were pray warriors on every turn.. We pressed in and laid on the altar before God..ready to serve His people.
There was unity and the love of Christ amongst the appointed workers for the retreat..we flowed on one accord.. God honored it..He really did. The laughter in the midst was priceless..We always have some joy in the house at BFA! :)
Husbands were supportive all worked diligently and in unison! Wow again!!
There was fellowship from Elim ministry in Houston,TX.. Joe and Marissa- if your reading I love you so.. thank you is an understatement.
Both Joe and Marissa worked side by side from the onset of the retreat until we left the building. Thanks Lord!! for faithful kingdom builders.
The dancers worked diligently and faithfully to prepare for worshipping God through dance. Countless rehearsing, sacrificing of time.. Thanks Ladies.. You beheld the fruit..
The praise and Worship leader prepared to usher us into the Throne Room.. She had a voice of an angel.. Yolks were going to be broken for sure
The cook what can I say.. but Bon Appetite! She prepared the menu worked the plan and it was go from there.
The prayer team of intercessors went to the grounds to pray rain didn't stop us.. we pressed.. Those grounds were Holy!
The instructors prepared their lessons yielding to the voice of God and obeying.. Wisdom is priceless
The vendors had their awesome works prepared and ready to go! Way to go..God does give us creative ideas to gain wealth.
The administrative staff worked hard to create a beautiful agenda, postcards and gift bags..Creativity is no stranger to the folks at Beauty for Ashes IWM!!
The decoration team worked to set a table fit for a queen.. see the pics! We are God's best.. nothing less would do!
Let's not forget..Mr. Joe of Pressing Promos that was able to create the beautiful t-shirts in a crunch for time.. and even 7:00 am coffee!! Thanks Mr. Joe!!!
The true blessing is this all the long hours of leg work and outpouring was done by under 15 women!!! What a testimony of God's supernatural favor, and how He can empower us through the Holy Ghost!!
My friends it rings so true that We can do all things through Christ which Strengthens Us... Philippians 4:13
Still saying WOW God!!! See my next blog...
