Your Sacred Yes: Trade Draining Obligation for Jesus’ Invitation
Workshop A
Are you worn out from the rat race? Jesus invites you to come and rest, to live a fruitful, abundant life, and to see your battles turn into blessings that serve others and strengthen you. So what needs to change for us to move from a busyness that drains us to an abundance that trains us? Join us as Susie unpacks the power and ripple effect of the abiding life. Susie says that our limits are actually a gift to us, reminders of how very much we need Jesus. And it’s within those limits that God is able to do the impossible in and through us. Come for a time of inspiration and declaration: We have nothing to prove and all of eternity to live for.

Distinctly You: Trading Comparison and Competition for Freedom and Fulfillment
Workshop D
All of creation is content to be what it was made to be, except us. Fish flourish in water. Ants are not worried about their size. We are guilty of wasting time on the three C’s: comparing, competing, and coveting. We aim at the bull’s-eye on someone else’s board, pursuing a race we weren’t equipped to run. This workshop will encourage you to concentrate on being who God created you to be rather than trying to measure up to others. Cheryl will show you how to develop your God-given uniqueness. She will unveil actions and attitudes that may be sabotaging you and explore ways you can engage and build up your unique talents, interests, and God-given strengths. Cheryl will also share candidly from her ongoing quest to be distinct for God’s glory.
