Celebrating Eve is a life-changing women's retreat designed to create a space and time for God to reveal our true identity and bring us his complete joy.~Why does it seem that no matter how much you straighten, color, or style your hair it may never measure up to the standard of beauty you have in your head? ~Why is it that no matter howgood a Mom or how much you excel in your career or how much you serve at church or in your community you still feel as if your life just doesn't measure up? ~Why does your heart yearn or hurt when you hear a beautiful love story? The answer....Just as Eve had a terrible enemy so do you and so does every woman on this earth. Your enemy has assaulted your joy by sowing seeds of doubt as to your beauty, your worth, and God's true love for you.  As women we are so very busy. It sometimes can be difficult for the truth of God's words to compete with the loudness of our every day lives. The goal for the Celebrating Eve retreat is to invite you to step away from your everyday life of duty, responsibility, and busyness and receive God's JOY. Even Jesus took time to get away to be with the Father. It is with this in mind that we established the Celebrating Eve Women's Retreat. Why do we Celebrate Eve? Because it is God’s desire for us. Jesus tells us in John 15:10 that the reason he spends time explaining our true identity is so that his joy may be in us and that our joy may be complete. When we as women are clear about who we are and experience God’s complete joy……WOW so many things change. We become better women…better sisters, better wives, better mothers, better friends, better daughters. We thrive in our purposes. We excel in our missions. We love more and receive love more. We have more life. Accepting the invitation to receive God’s joy through a clearer understanding of our identity is not an optional, frivolous pursuit. It is vital to our lives and to the lives of the people we love.  It is an integral part of our journey. It is the path to more intimacy with God. This four-day retreat will be held at the serene Simpsonsonwood Retreat and Conference Center just forty minutes outside Atlanta.   It is a wonderful opportunity to take time to be restored, to be reminded of the truth of our beauty, our priceless worth, and God's love for his girls. What to Expect: Fun, laughter, new friendships with women from all walks of life, amazing conversations, and a sense of joy. This is not your average women’s retreat.
