What are people saying about Reflective Life Ministries? Do retreats make an impact on the women who attend? Read a few comments from recent attendees…
“Thank you, Carla, for such a bonding time this weekend with all our sisters! You brought meaning and truth and encouragement to God's Word and our lives. Thank you for writing about our weekend (on your blog). Family & friends have asked me about the retreat, and you described it perfectly! God bless you!”
“I wanted to say, how much I enjoyed your fellowship and prayer at the retreat this past weekend. Taking time out of your schedule to pray for me was so wonderful.”
“If was so nice to meet you and I truly enjoyed the weekend. So much love came from that retreat and we have to say thank you.”

“I wanted to tell you thank you again for a wonderful retreat this past weekend with Cornerstone. We are just a bunch of crazy women who go from acting silly and crazy to deep Bible study and prayer to boohooing all over the place. You spoke to me more than I had ever dreamed.
“Confession time: I had no intention of attending and then when my daughter found out about the retreat she started after me about going. Then she called my husband and they had one of those Daddy/Daughter conversations about Mommy not wanting to do things with the ladies from church. I am thankful they won the battle for me to attend. I am so thankful for the small groups and how God put us together. We have committed ourselves to encourage and pray for each other daily.”
“I also had no intention of sharing about taking off my mask that I've worn for so many years. But your little smile kept saying to me "come on, you can do this". I am so glad that I did because this week I have NEVER felt so much peace with myself as I have since Saturday. God is so amazing. I think that was the final act of obedience to God that I go before these women and let them see that I can't live behind that mask any more. I realize more than ever how much I need that fellowship with other Godly women.”

I could go on and on but I wanted to say thank you again. I will add you as one of my ladies in my small group and lift you daily in prayer. Thank you so much again.

I am blessed beyond words by these emails! Reading them spurs me forward to accomplish the purposes God has for Reflective Life Ministries. I lift my heart of praise to the Lord for the grace and mercy He bountifully pours out on each retreat. RLM is a team of women with one purpose—to love and serve the Lord with all our hearts, souls and minds. Over the next few weeks we will reveal some new additions to the ministry. If the Lord leads you to pray for us we would appreciate the prayers.
From My Heart to Yours,
Carla McDougal
Founder of and Author/Speaker for RLM
