"Above the Storm" Teaching Theme

 

Leslie, Linda, Barbara

I am blessed to be teaching the women and am really excited to see what God will do with what I have prepared.  I will be teaching three times, each on the theme of Soaring Through the Storms of Life.  The illustration for the entire weekend is this:  When storms come, most living creatures run for shelter.  But the eagle flies into the storm, catches the unique updrafts of the storm, and soars.   We will be looking at 4 Bible characters and the updrafts of their storms.   Joseph, who caught the updraft of God's sovereign plan; Job, who caught the updraft of God's character; Paul (in the verse about his thorn), who caught the updraft of God's resources; and Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, who caught the updraft of God's presence.  My prayer is that the women will leave empowered by the fact that whatever storms they are facing in their lives, God will give them updrafts so they can soar.  The final statement of the retreat is, "My God is able to (fill in the blank with your need)!  But even if He does not, I will dance in the fire with Him!"

 Satan has been busy with attacks.  Please pray for the women who attend; for protection for the team as we travel; that we as a team would reflect God; and that, most importantly, lives would be changed (ours and their's) and God would be glorified.
