Thompson

We had such a great weekend in Thompson, MB at the “Women of Passionate Purpose” conference. The atmosphere of anticipation and excitement could be felt in the air and seen on the faces of the women as they ran through the rain to get inside the building on Friday evening. Whether we were sitting around the tables during the sessions or visiting downstairs at the spa, cafe or photo booth - we had a great weekend together! I loved watching the ladies connect with each other during the weekend. Kourtnay Kemsley spoke the message God planted in her heart many months ago about women living a life of passionate purpose. It was great to hear the word of God, to pray together and be challenged and spurred on to greater things.

Here are a few things I learned this weekend while in Thompson:

• we weren't made to just exist; we were made for a purpose
• God created us for a purpose and He can tell us what our purpose is
• we have been designed to make a difference
• we were created for God's glory
• we were created to please God
• we were created to be part of God's work
• we were created to be in relationship with God
• purpose produces passion
• passion is defined as an intense emtion; compelling action

It is great to be part of what God is doing in the hearts and lives of the women across our district!
