Time is Tickin' Away
Well, before you know it, retreat will be here and 41 of us will be headed to Pigeon Forge, TN for some girl time together. The Aroma Team is so ready to host you for a great weekend of worship and time in the Word!
Please remember that your balance for the trip MUST BE paid off this Sunday, April 19th. All of you should have received a reminder notice by email, facebook, or word of mouth in regards to how much you have left to pay. Please make every effort to get this turned into Barbie George on Sunday. She has done a fabulous job making sure we have our payments turned in so we'll have all of this squared away before we go!
If you did not get your retreat letter by hand from Amy, please let her know. This letter contains all the info you need before you pack and you don't want to miss it. You need to already have arranged with your jobs to be able to be off, or leave early, Friday, the 24th because cars and the church van will pull out promptly at 2pm that day to head up to Tennessee.
If you are not attending retreat with us, please make sure you see this opportunity to get together with other women at LifeSong this Sunday, the 19th. We want you to come and be a part of our Tea Party, but you need to sign up so that we know how many to tell the Tea Parlor will be coming.
If you have any questions about retreat, or our day at The Broken Teapot, comment to this post, or ask any Aroma Team member.

It's Tough Being a Woman!
Can I hear an "Amen" to this post's title? I mean, really! Have you ever had a day go by that you haven't thought, "Why can't my life just be easy?" I think that all the time. Why can't the clothes wash themselves? Why can't my husband read my mind? Why, oh why, must I have cramps? Why can't I balance everything? Why does it seem like everyday is like the day before it? Does ANYONE see all that I'm doing? Hey, we could really write a book here, but every situation would lead us back to point "A". It is TOUGH being a woman! And if we're being really honest, it's one of those things that we don't even like to voice that we're feeling because, after all, aren't we supposed to have it all together? There's often a lot of shame that goes along with saying we don't have it all together - that we can't get it all done. Well, we can't get it all done and have make-up and a great outfit on, too. There's not enough time to look good, smell good, eat "good" (pardon my grammar) and do good! So, once again, we're back where we started - feeling like it's tough being a woman. Guess what, though! There's a wonderful thing called HOPE! I find great promise in that, don't you. It's kind of like that really bad day with the kids and your husband comes in and saves the day just by coming home and giving you a break, adult conversation and may even give the kids a bath
...well, unless your husband just doesn't have a clue how hard you have it all day and comes in and props his feet up and watches you manage it all without really paying any attention at all! :)
Scratch that last part of that sentence and hold on to the visual of your husband coming in to save the day. I don't know about you, but I have HOPE for tomorrow when I find relief at the end of a long day. I actually find myself thinking, "Hey, I can do this thing! I can wake up again tomorrow." Don't you love moments like that? Don't you love the hope that getting away for a Girls Night Out gives you? The hope that locking yourself in the bathroom and counting to "10" brings? The cuddle time with your toddler over a really great read? It's in the story of our lives that we live the.... story of our lives. It's the searching for hope that we find it...right in the person of Christ! Let me tell you what I heard in my Bible study yesterday, said by Beth Moore. She pointed out that "God will not fulfill our destiny without us!" That causes me to want to soar, people! What about you? There's no room for giving up here. No room for pulling the "failure card." There's plain, simple, yet gloriously wonderful - HOPE!
Yesterday was the start of a great journey with about 40 ladies from all over our community as we began to dig into the book of Esther. It's a call for hope. It's a call for fulfilling our destinies with Christ. It's a call for allowing Him the honor of writing our life's story.
I know that many of you would like to participate in this Bible study. Well, you can! You can pray for each lady in the morning study. You can pray intentionally that she will find hope in her Maker. You, by doing that, will make a huge investment in her life! You'll give her hope!
My prayer is that this study will be available to you that cannot attend right now, and my hope is that it will be sooner, rather than later. It is already one of those, "you just can't miss this" moments. So, pray with me that we will all be on this journey together - whether it be through actually attending now, or praying for those who are attending now. Either way, you are sure to receive a blessing.
Go live today like you've never lived before! Live like you have HOPE!
