Carla's Corner
Everyone needs encouragement, right? God's Word is filled with verses on exhorting one another in the Lord. It is amazing what a word of Encouragement can do in someone's life, You guessed it - Encouragement will be our "Focus Word" for January/February. Be sure to check in periodically as Carla shares her heart on building one another up in the Lord through verses, life experiences, quotes, etc. She would love for you to share your thoughts as well so we can all learn from one another. |

This is a big and hearty thank you to the most dedicated and passionate prayer warriors. We are blessed beyond measure for the RLM Prayer Team that provides the foundation upon which this ministry grows. They intercede for us, for our retreats, for the women that attend retreats, for the teams and committees that plan retreats and for God to move mightly in women's lives. They believe in our mission and support our efforts. The members of the RLM Prayer Team are: Betty Chandler, JoLynn Ritter, Wanda Diamond, Margaret Kershaw, Jan Oberholtzer and Barbara Yarger. | |
A Look Back On 2007
 Take a walk with us as we look back on the inaugural year of Reflective Life Ministries. God gave us many new opportunities this past year to share our love and passion for Jesus through retreats for FBC college Station, Hillcrest Baptist, Magnolia Bible, Wildwood Methodist, and the Milan, Italy Women's Retreat. WOW, the privilege to go international with our message of Jesus could only have been a divine appointment from God Himself. We also moved into the area of one time speaking engagements for MOPS groups, MOMS Weekend at Camp Allen, banquets, etc. One of our newest avenues this past year was the Women's Ministry Share Fair in May; RLM partnered with a group of women's ministry directors called "A Cord of Three Strands" to encourage women's leadership teams from area churches. To our amazement over 100 ladies showed up! Blessings filled the room as ideas were shared, women prayed together, information was gathered from the Share Tables, ect. We give God ALL the glory for all He has done and will continue to do through this ministry. AMEN!!! |

Focus Word - ENCOURAGEMENT
 In January and February, we are going to focus a lot of our prayers and meditations on ENCOURAGEMENT. What does an encourageming word do for you or for others? How do people respond to words of encouragement? Join us as we examine what the Lord has to say about encouraging one another, share quotes about encouragement, thoughts on encouragement and we want to hear about your experiences. |
Share Fair 2008
We are starting to receive inquiries regarding the 2008 Women's Ministry Share Fair. We are thrilled to be able to be a part of what the Lord is doing in our little part of the world. We are looking forward to sharing information with you and will be sending you everything you need to be a part of the 2008 Share Fair. Until then, save the date: Saturday, May 3rd. We will again be meeting at The Woodlands United Methodist Church. Plan now to bring your women's leadership team. |

What are people saying about RLM?
We wanted to share with you what God is doing, and we couldn't think of a better way than through the words of a woman who attended one of our retreats in 2007. This is what she wrote us:
" For a first timer, I wasn't real sure of what to expect, just hoped and prayed that I would make a bond with some Christian gals, and creata friendship that would last longer than the retreat. That prayer was answered. At the retreat I met some wonderful women that I sit beside in church every Sunday. Now we have a special bond and wonderful memories together. My burden is lighter and my heart is happier today because of the wonderful weekend that we all shared! Thank You!" This woman is but one of the few who have written to us expressing the joys about the work God did in them through their weekend journey on "The Friendship Tour", our newest retreat. Join us on the journey, we are sure you will be blessed! You can read more testimonials on our website www.reflectivelifeministries.org and click on the testimonials link. |
