W.O.W. Worn Out Woman

We are excited to announcement an upcoming study we will be kicking off during our Tuesday Night Mixer on Tuesday May 18th. Below is a sneak peak at what it's going to be like.

Who's "Worn Out"? Stand and be recognized! What does "worn out" mean?? According to wiki.com, the phrase is an adjective that has the following meanings:

1. Damaged and Useless due to hard or continued use.

a. That old tractor is worn out.

b. He still wears his old worn out shoes.

2. Exhausted or fatigued from exertion.

a. I was worn out after all that work.

b. That game was fun, but now I'm all worn out.


Take a moment...how many of us can envision ourselves as an old worn out tractor or busted up pair of shoes?

Read John 10:10
"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly."

Those were Jesus's words. The word in red above is US! You and I. He gave his life in a brutal way so we may have abundant life. No broken down, rusted out tractors in that statement. Here we are, all different ages, different personalities, different circumstances, and yet because we are WOMEN, we have an immediate camaraderie. We all have a deep desire to be the kind of women God had in mind when He created us.

But HOW?
-Most days I feel overwhelmed.
-I want to run away and start over again
-I've wished my life away
-I hardly ever experience intimate or tender moments with the Lord
-My days are filled with things I don't want to do
-When I read my Bible, it's out of habit rather than desire
-The joy and excitement are gone
-I wake up feeling discouraged
-I've taken on responsibilities that I never wanted
-I feel like I'm missing me, but maybe God is missing

Sound familiar?
How did I get this way? Is there a way out? You are NOT alone! The worn-out woman has many sisters!
No one can unclutter her life without uncluttering her heart! No matter how stressed and overwhelmed you might feel you can experience the fulfilling life God has planned for you.
Let's explore together the emotional, mental, social, physical and most importantly, spiritual areas of our life!

Who's ready to be a "Recovering Worn Out Woman"?
