Getaway
with God is a book that encapsulates many ideas for making various amounts
of time away for a woman to meet with God alone. Women today have many pressures and demands
pulling at them constantly like never before.
As these demands ebb and flow along with the nurturing makeup of women,
we forget to take time to refresh ourselves.
While women’s church retreats have their place, for me they weren’t very
refreshing as I usually come home more tired.
In college, I learned more about making time to be quiet and
alone with God. Of course, with
different seasons of women’s lives it looks different and sometimes we need
help with ideas as to the “how” of making time alone with God. I like that the material is presented in a
religious manner but one of personal heart to heart matter. Women can’t give out of empty cisterns
whether to their family, friends, works, etc.
When we make and take the time to get away with God, we can be
refreshed, renewed, gain a new perspective and perhaps a new direction in life
where God is leading.
When you get your copy, I suggest making time within a few
weeks to go grab coffee or whatever beverage you prefer, a calendar and
notebook. Set dates in pencil for the
year of when you’d like to get away with God, and in the notebook what you would
like or sense God is speaking to you.
Then, be purposeful in following though and at the end of the year look
back and see what God has done!
