When was the last time you took a moment to think about the Creator and Maker of the universe, the Lord over all who painted galaxies and sprinkled stars into the heavens? The same God who carved breathtaking valleys and fashioned intricate snowflakes. The architect of the Cascade Mountains and inventor of the apple tree. The one who breathed life into every living thing that He has made. The mountains are His. The seas are His. We are His.

From the testimonies of 7 ladies, we learned together about the heart posture that we as women must take, in order to navigate every challenge and trial that comes our way. Anxiety? Grief? Loneliness? Suffering? Temptation? Our creator God has made a way for us to walk through these trials, and surprisingly, the way through may be simpler than you think.

This beautiful December evening together was a tangible reminder of the wonderful truth that we have been given the best gift; Emmanuel—God with us. Terrie Cranwell, dear friend, momma and mentor, was our featured speaker for the evening. She graciously shared her story of extreme loss wrapped in beautiful hope because of the truth that God is with us.

What is the secret to navigating each season of life a woman finds herself in? Married, single, mothers, even a woman in her golden years...each one must navigate their unique season with grace and grit. And the Bible is clear how we should do this! Our evening was a night of insight and wisdom from our panel of women, each walking in a different season of life. Karis McPherson, Jenny Smith, Khiree Appel, and Linny Jones shared helpful insights and encouraging stories to help us in our walk with Jesus...in every season.
