Writing Retreat 3/14/11

Writing Prompt 1 (10-15 minutes): Describe the life of a nun. What does she do each day? What is her life like? Pastor Steve gave the challenge to take some "solitude" this week. Nuns live lives full of solitude and "God-space." Does the life of a nun appeal to you? Why or why not?

Write Prompt 2 (35-40 minutes): Write about a significant childhood friend. What role did he/she play in your life? Was this an advocate/confidant/play-mate/life-saver/etc.?

Women's Retreat Homework:

Living Proof. Let's be honest... not everyone feels like living proof. At least we don't feel like "living proof" every moment of every day. But the good news is that God is NOT FINISHED working on you. We may not be able to say too confidently that we are "living proof" in this life- but some day, we will say it loud, standing confidently before the Lord.
Jesus is in the business of redeeming lives. This is what He loves to do. So go ahead and dream for a moment. What would a proved/proofed YOU look like? How do you look differently now? What steps and changes need to happen to get you to that place?
