Okay, I'm outing myself, because I really need the prayer support, if you feel called to give it.
A few months ago I was asked to be the speaker at a ladies' retreat. My husband felt I should say yes to this opportunity, since he will be speaking at the same retreat, but to the teens. (If we could find someone to watch our children, which we have.)
I write a lot of fluff here, I know that. I find it difficult to speak of things that are close to my heart and/or personal. I'm the one who wants everyone to get along and be happy and share a laugh or two together.
I am intimidated at the thought of this retreat. What can I say in 3 different sessions that these ladies need to hear? I do not want these women to sacrifice their precious time and money to attend this retreat, only for them to leave spiritually hungry and feeling like it was a waste of time.
So would you just pray for me, that I would present Christ to these women, and that I would fade out of the picture?
The theme is "Walk Worthy" - which has many many MANY ways to be approached. I've been doing quite a bit of reading, as well as praying ("HELP!"), but now that there's about one month left, I need to start narrowing it down to the three messages I need to give.
Thanks for reading. And for praying.

I will pray for you! God will give you the right words to say. Hugs.
I'm praying as well!
I will pray for you. I am actually preparing to teach a pre-retreat session to our women next Tuesday night. I have never done this before (introverts don't usually seek out opportunities to have 40+ women hanging on their every word). I just hope I don't bore them to tears. Hope yours goes well.
