Our culture tells us that being busy makes us successful and important. Yet, busy isn’t always better. Rest is needed, too. All of us need “selah” times in our lives. We need to take the time to just stop, ponder, and gather strength from the One who loves us most in order to be fruitful in His kingdom. This retreat focuses on Psalm 23, the “shepherd’s psalm.” You will learn to know the Shepherd better and understand why it’s most important for us to follow Him and hear His voice. It’s what we learn in the quiet that enables us to serve Him in the busy. Whether we are led by still waters or through the valley of the shadow of death, we can find “selah times” that restore our soul.
Mind: A Selah retreat will always include rich study in the Word of God with Sharon as teacher, helping women grow by examining and applying Scripture to their own lives.
Body: A Selah retreat will always allow a minimum of three hours of “nothing time.” Women can walk, nap, talk, or read a good book … whatever will renew and refresh their weary bodies.
Soul: A Selah retreat will always incorporate “guided Selah time.” This gives a retreat participant specific Bible study questions to answer on her own—with Jesus. God is the very best Teacher, and learning to be still and study His Word is key to growth as a follower and lover of Christ.
