A bit about "Thin Places" and a GIVEAWAY!!

Have you ever been hurt? Does your past hold pain you'd like to forget? What if you looked at these trials in a different way? Our prayer is to talk about this in August at the 4th annual ReNEWed Life Women's event, and in her memoir, Mary DeMuth leads you to do just that. Today we are giving away a copy!!

Amazon says this about the book - In this moving spiritual memoir - Thin Places - Mary DeMuth traces the winding path of thin places in her life, places where she experienced longing and healing more intensely than before. From surviving abuse as a latchkey kid to discovering a heavenly Father who never leaves, Mary's story invites you to a deeper understanding of your own story. She calls you to discover new ways to look for God in the past so that you might experience Him more profoundly in the present. What if you could retrace your life and discover its thin places-places where the division between this world and the eternal fades? "Thin places are snatches of holy ground, tucked into the corners of our world, where we might just catch a glimpse of eternity. They are aha moments, beautiful realizations, when the Son of God bursts through the hazy for of our monotony and shines on us afresh."

We'd love for YOU to win a copy, but first you have to enter! To do so simply leave a comment with a thought about "Thin Places". Perhaps you have some thin places of your own, maybe this is a phrase you've never heard or possibly it leaves you with a question. Any comment will do and if time is short, simply say, "I'm in!!" For a 2nd entry into the drawing, share this post on social media and then be sure to let us know you did just that!! (Be sure to include your email address so we can contact you if you win!) 

If you're eager to read and want to purchase a copy for yourself, it's available HERE. If you'd like to learn more about our speaker, you can connect with her today by visiting her website found HERE. 

We will announce the winner on May 1st! Stay tuned for more fun giveaways coming up!!

Announcing our 2015 Speaker

Mary has a powerful testimony and a strong desire to share transforming Truths. She says, "I have spent my adult life sharing the message that Jesus wants to be our everything. When we dare to give up control and surrender everything to Him (even our hurts), we find the everything He provides."

Pictures from ReNEWed LIfe Women's Event '13

It is really hard to sum up such a wonderfully, blessed day in a few short words. What a joyful, Spirit-led, God filled day, August 10th, 2013 was at ReNEWed Life Women's Event 2013 at Heritage Events Center in Cresco, Iowa!

While even pictures can't do it justice, here are some great shots that give such a wonderful glimpse into the day!

Some of the highlights...

Before the day even got underway the LORD was already shining His light down on us!

A Message from our Speaker, Wendy Blight

Hi,

My name is Wendy Blight. The leaders of ReNEWed Life Women's Event have graciously extended me an invitation to speak in August. I am honored and excited to come and share the message God has laid on my heart for our time together. God's redeeming work in my life has birthed my heart's passion which is to encourage women to press into the heart of God through prayer and the study of His Word.

Please know I have been praying for you and although I do not know you by name, the Lord does. He knows your hearts and the message He wants to speak to you. I am praying for Him to lead me directly to the Scriptures and Truths He has for you. Our time together will be precious, and I cannot wait to meet you!

If you would like to get to know me better, please feel free to visit my blog at www.wendyblight.com. There is a comment section on the blog, and I would love to hear from you!

I am eager to meet you and am praying for our time together!!
