Discover Your Strengths ~ Your Unique Gifts from God
You are a unique, strong, resilient woman who has been given special talents from your Creator. Yet, you are human, which means you (and the rest of us) experience doubt, stress, and fear. On the surface, being strong may look like ‘having it all together’. But that’s not the case; it means being connected to an inner source of strength that guides us.
Managing stress and doubt begins with understanding yourself, and the nature of God. To understand yourself means to know your basic nature, the potential of your strengths and the limits of your weaknesses.
What would it be like to understand your natural gifts better? How would you like to manage the stressors in your life more effectively?
In James 1:17 we learn that every gift is from God, including the unique talents He has given you. And in Philippians 4:8, Paul encourages us to think about whatever is noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy. We are to practice and expand the good that we find in ourselves, in others, and in God.
At the Women’s Wellness Retreat this year, join Carol deLaski to explore inner strength.
You will learn to:
- Know yourself better by identifying/developing your natural strengths, your gifts from God.
- Know God better with techniques to stay connected (especially when you don’t have it all together).
This retreat will be an opportunity to rest in God’s presence, open your heart to Him, and let Him fill you with inner strength. He delights in you and will renew your confidence in yourself and in His abiding presence.

This early arrival option begins with check-in as early as 3pm on Thursday, so that you can have an extra day to unwind. We will have a prayer gathering after dinner on Thursday. On Friday, you’ll have free time and time to walk around the Center’s beautiful grounds.
