As I reflect on everything that happened last month (our theme was Spiritual Wellness and we held our first of 4 Writing Retreats), I’m literally flabbergasted.

God’s Divine Download

I saw the NACWE Team ask God to download everything each of us needed for our writing retreat, and God gave us clarity, writing ideas, new strategies, creative titles, visual downloads, the opportunity to connect (and synergize) with others, and the gift of helping others feel valued and cared for.

Even in the middle of all these amazing things, there were also difficult moments as we were frustrated with illness, exhaustion, family crises or waiting for the plan or idea from God to come, but we prayed and prayed and waited.

At the beginning of the writing retreat, we had our outlines of what we wanted to work on.  However, one entrepreneur wanted to write while she was at a client’s house caring for her.   The client needed love and care more than our fellow writer needed to finish her writing. She met the woman right where she was with hours of listening, loving and letting God run the show.  That, my friend, is spiritual wellness. Just laying our agenda at the Savior’s feet and saying, Lord, have your will.” And after seeking the Savior and letting Him guide us, we go do it!
