Testimony Tuesday -- Women's Retreat

For the next several weeks I'll be sharing testimonies from women who attended our women's retreat.  It's so good to see all that God did while ladies were away with Him for the weekend.  Let's celebrate His goodness!
---------------------
I am enough for Him.
We are enough for Him.
---------------------
I am life-giving.  Even if I have believed the voices of the world telling me that because I've never had a child I'm not.  I choose to hear and believe the voice of the Lord who tells me that I am.
I am life-giving even though my womb is empty.
I will trust in the Lord.
--------------------
God FASHIONED us!!!!
Eeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
He gave me a picture of an artist/potter creating a masterpiece...and the time that it takes to create such a piece with such immeasurable value.  The eye for detail, the subtle intricate elements, endless hours spent "bedazzling" such a work of art.  Perfection as seen by The Creator takes time...it is not finished.  Just as our "becoming" what HE has in mind...our "divine design" takes time.  We are to ENJOY the time that He creates into His masterpiece...we won't be disappointed.
------------------
God challenged me to be Mary, to be an example of Mary to my children.
------------------
God's been calling me and showing me how to come to Him raw and unfiltered.  So often I try to "pull myself together" before going to God.  He wants me to bring everything to Him RAW, pour out my heart to Him, rest in Him.  HE wants me to trust that He is who He says He is and that He is transforming me and doing a new thing.  He's calling me into His reality---calling me to be real.  He's revealing to me His redemption and restoration.
------------------
I have never doubted that God loves me, cherishes me, values me, desires relationship with me, that God would never bring me to anything that He would not bring me through, that He would lead me, or carry me to where He needed me to be, but this weekend God showed me: I AM WORTHY of being loved by Him unconditionally!
