WOW! What a BeYOUtiful Weekend!
The infamous WOW (Women of Worthiness) retreat. I had heard about it and been invited to it for so many years. Many of my sisters in Christ would go and come back with tales of strengthened faith, closer bonds, and many laughs. Though I longed to share in this experience with them, I was never…

A Time to Weep and Mourn
No, no, no! I'm not supposed to cry. I'm not supposed to be sad. I have the joy of the Lord in my heart. Where is my faith if I give into these emotions? But I can't hold them back.
No Restrictions
All that my eyes desired I did not refuse them. I did not withhold my heart from any pleasure, for my heart was pleased because of all my labor and this was my reward for all my labor. Ecclesiastes 2:10 Who doesn't want to live like that? Who doesn't want to live without any restrictions…
