On May 10th, 23 CRM staff women travelled from 11 countries around the world for the second of three “Women of Influence” gatherings. This time we met up in Millstatt, Austria at Schloss Heroldeck Castle.
Both the time traveling to/thru Austria and my time with God and the other women was AMAZING! The scenery was beautiful and truly sang God’s glory. His gentle hand guided me each day providing abundant opportunity to hear and respond to His voice. His Spirit shaped and rejuvenated my soul! 
I was the grateful recipient of the generous hospitality of the CRM worship/logistics team and the castle staff (who prepared and cleaned up after all of our healthy and delicious meals)! The Spirit infused teaching and conversation time with peers and mentors was stimulating and life-giving. It was a refreshing time to step back and reflect with God and others on all the roles I give myself to- child of God, daughter, wife, mom, co-worker, mentor, and friend. 
I’ve come home with Kingdom breathed vision and enthusiasm for each of these roles as I continue to move toward necessary balance among them! Some words that endure in my heart and mind since my time in Austria: REST…TRUST…BEAUTY…NURTURE…FAITHFUL LOVE
And, a special THANK YOU to each of you who contributed financially to provide me with this opportunity which will undoubtedly bless and benefit all those I minister to both inside and outside of my home!
It was such a great week! I’m glad to hear some of your heart after.
My prayer in Austria and contiues to be that the Lord will sing over you new songs- of deliverance, peace, joy, and a sense of His creativity in you.
I love seeing all the pictures being sent~ you are truly beautiful, stunning in all of them.
May the Lord bless you & keep you, may His face shine upon you and give you peace & rest~
God Bless~
