  • Church Women's Retreat to Mountains

    May2012 040           The women of our church, Calvary Chapel Rancho Santa Margarita, enjoyed a three-day retreat to Big Bear, May2012 037 California in the mountains.  Besides awesome fellowship, the retreat was aMay2012 035 time of prayer and Bible study, with May2012 008 the theme of the weekend “Joy in Trials” from James 1- a message we all need to remember :) .  I was so blessed by my sisters´ love, and especially by the Lord´s messages for me! I was impacted by Exodus 6:2 by God´s simple response to Moses´ worries: “I am the LORD”; by Psalm 40:1 which reads “Patiently, I will wait on the LORD”, and finally by  J esus´ nearness in the disciples´ time of distress to calm the waters in the May2012 041 storm in Matthew 8:24-26. With May2012 033 God for us, who can be against us in times of trials?!!
