🍂 What would it look like to set aside two days this fall simply to be with Jesus?

I know it sounds almost too good to be true. But it is!

Join me for The One Whom Jesus Loves Women’s Silence & Solitude Retreat this November at The Hermitage Retreat Center in Three Rivers, Michigan.

“Now there was leaning on Jesus’ chest one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.” John 13:23 KJV

Come away with a small group of like-hearted women for two days set apart with the Savior—to put your head on His chest, remember your identity as His beloved, rest in His love, and listen for His voice.

We’ll begin and end our retreat together, but the hours in between are intentionally spacious. They are yours to spend alone with God—to read, rest, pray, walk the beautiful grounds, journal, worship, or simply be still with Him.

The Hermitage is such a lovely setting for this kind of retreat, with private rooms, sprawling acreage, and wonderful home-cooked, farm-to-table meals. You’ll leave renewed--body, mind, and spirit.

🍂 Wednesday, November 18–Friday, November 20
🍂 Cost: $275
🍂 Private rooms and rustic cabins available

Can God deepen our relationship with Him through creation?

As summer unfolds around us—with birdsong, gardens, beaches, campfires, and star-filled skies, it’s a wonderful time to slow down and notice the ways God reveals himself through the world he has made.

In this month’s article, I share stories from retreat guests, insights from spiritual giants like Thomas Aquinas, George Washington Carver, and George MacDonald, and practical tips for experiencing God's presence outdoors.

I'd love for you to join me for this special summer reflection.

How has God spoken to you through creation?
