"I just want to take this time to thank you for the wonderful women's retreat this year.  It was the first time that I had been to one of the retreats.  I truly did enjoy my time there and your talks were really what I needed during my trials and tests concerning work.  I know that I benefited from the conference.  My joy came back and when I went to church on Sunday morning I was praising God like I never had.  I didn't care who was around me.  It changed me to want to really worship Him."


"My initial thought regarding the timing of the conference was that it was poor for me, since Friday was my last day of work; and with a school remodel going on, everything in my room had to be out by noon.  Additionally, I had been through some very taxing meetings with a parent and staff-- a meeting that was supposed to last 2 hours ended up taking 8 days at 4 hrs a day.  Earlier in the week I was feeling weary and not very spiritual, but I have learned (to some extent--still learning) not to go by feelings. But quite to the contrary, from the time I arrived on the grounds I felt revived mentally, spiritually, and physically.  It was like stepping into a cool shower after sweating out in the heat.  I appreciate how Hildie and Roshelle ministered from the heart and encouraged all to let down the walls to receive from the Holy Spirit.  I always enjoy, too,  the unscheduled times of  testimonies, sharing scripture and prayer with all the ladies.

As  I retire from 39 years in public education, I mark this date as a time when Hildie joined her anointing and prayer with mine to believe for great things and full provision  in the next phase of my life and ministry.

The best is yet to come for all of us!"
