Because Your Purpose is Holy…
Well, I am finally settling into the reality that The Mercy Retreat is over for this year, (Yep, I said for THIS year… stay tuned!) and I’m now preparing my fall calendar for speaking and serving in other settings.

For When You Question Your Purpose… (A Mercy Retreat Update)
I’m writing to you with a full heart as I stand in complete awe of everything God did at The Mercy Retreat. It was an amazing time of worship, the Word, and sweet fellowship amongst women.
