Life's been a blur since the "Be Transformed" women's day, but memories of God's words to me on that day are still strong in my mind. How nice it was to get the space to listen (for that I thank the organising team!). It reminds me of a line from one of my poems: "...Oh how I love it when you speak to me."It was such an honour too, to deliver a workshop and to use my poems to highlight how what we have to say to God is important to Him. He is listening to each and every one of us. Some of the women wrote poems, some drew, and other simply read and took the time to reflect.
Some comments from those who attended:
"It was really inspiring and encouraging. I will definitely give it a try. Letting things out in such a potentially beautiful way is very exciting."
"It was good to hear of someone else's way of communicating with God and to hear of the good and not so good times..."
"Creative atmosphere and freedom. Inspiring resources. Your honesty like a fragrant offering before God. Thanks"
"A sense of opportunity to search for new areas of contact with God...Thank you."
"Having the opportunity to express myself in a way that I haven't before. Thank you!"
"Enjoyed the space to do some writing and Esther's enthusiasm and honesty reminded me we have different gifts."
Two weeks on and I have had the chance to repeat the workshop at The Well women's group at Tonbridge Baptist Church. Thank you to my friends, old and new alike, for allowing me the opportunity to share my experiences with you in this way, and for sharing with me how this has helped / inspired you. I feel truly blessed.
