    Debbie Eaton is a Southern California girl

     who is passionate about creating and cultivating

    moments of connection with others. She

    deeply values being a daughter of God, a wife

    of 29 years, and a mother of a teenage son.

    Debbie feels called to champion and mentor

    the next generation of women, whether it bethrough writing and speaking or just laughing

    over a good cup of coffee and an even better piece

    of chocolate. She writes for SheReadsruth, is

    an advisor for IF:Gathering, consults with churches and co-leads beach

    retreats called Vibrant You. She was previously the Director of Women’s

    Ministry at Saddleback Church.

    D EB B I E EAT O N

    Courtney Lancaster has been worshiping God

    through music, and leading others in worship,

    since she was a teen. As a former co-worship

    leader with her husband, James, and a currentmember of the Southwest Church worship

    team, Courtney’s aim is to encourage people as

    they seek Jesus through music. With a singer-

    songwriter sound, she presents Spirit-filled

     worship that is simple, genuine, and pure. When

    Courtney isn’t on stage, she can be found with

    her family — including sons, Jack and Asher — or mentoring the next

    generation of Southwest worship artists.

    B I B L E J O U R N A L I N G  b y K r i s t e n K o e d y k e r  

    Welcome!  I am so glad you are exploring the art of Bible Journaling. Are you ready to in teract wi th God’s word in a new way? Noartistic talent is required; just be ready to jump in and try. he importantthing is to find your style — your expression — and run with it.

    Start w ith your favorit e verses. You know, the words that run through your

    mind in all of life’s messy situations. Or the praises that fall from your lips when God shows you how He is moving. I keep a lis t on a note card in myBible. I don’t always illustrate them all, but it is a good starting point.

    Next, find a font. Start with your own handwriting and add to it. You cantrace it, or add polka dots, or a few off-centered letters. It doesn’t haveto be fancy. Pinterest is an excellent source of inspiration. Large, small,cursive, wonky, play around and have fun. I use a composition notebookand practice when I can.

    Maybe a picture, animal, flower, or bird will catch your eye. Use it as abackground, add text boxes, or even cut out letters to write the verse.

    Zentangle — a relaxing way to create structured images — is a wonderfulthing! All you need is a black pen and some paper. A few different sizesharpies and you can create a whole new world of borders, backgrounds,and beautiful designs. he best part is, you don’t have to be able to draw.

     You’re just repeating lines and shapes.

    Do you have old scrapbook supplies around? Use them! Stickers, andletters are especially use ful. Scraps of paper make great borders, orbackgrounds. Stamp sets are also a fun tool.

    Included is Isaiah 43:1, our theme verse for the women’s retreat. hefollowing are some resources to help get you started.

    Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. ell God what

     you need, and HANK him for all he has done. hen you will experience

    God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will

    guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

    Philippians 4:6-7  NLT 

    Our  goal is not to teach you how  to pray. Our goal is to encourage youto pray; to understand who we are praying to, and the multi-faceted roles

    of God. Following is a list of some of the different roles God has played in

    our personal prayer lives. We believe it is essential to know the character

    and roles of God in order to be confident and bold in our prayers.

     hese sc riptures suppor t the idea that God plays many acti ve roles in

    our lives. From being our Daddy, to being our Creator, and everything in

    between. When we know who God is and who He can be in our lives, we

    enter into an intimate relationship with Him and pray more boldly andconfidently. hese scriptures exemplify how God has moved in our prayer

    lives, but we encourage you to discover scriptures that resonate in your

    prayer life.

    1. God as our Daddy 

    So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead,

     you rece ived God ’s Spi rit when he adopt ed you as his own chi ldren.

    Now we call him, “Abba, Father.” For his Spirit joins with our spirit to

    affirm that we are God’s children. Romans 8:15-16  NLT 

    2. God as our Father 

    “You parents—if your children ask for a loaf of bread, do you give them

    a stone instead? Or if they ask for a fish, do you give them a snake? Of

    course not! So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to yourchildren, how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to

    those who ask him!”  Matth ew 7 :9-11  NLT 

    3. God as our Deliverer 

     Yes, and the Lord wi ll del iver me f rom every evi l a ttack and wi ll bring

    me safely into his heavenly Kingdom. All glory to God forever and ever!

     Amen. 2 imoth y 4: 18  NLT

    4. God as our Protector

     hose who li ve in the shel ter o f the Most High will find rest in the

    shadow of the Almighty. his I declare about the LORD: He alone is

    my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him. For he

     will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease . He

     will cover you with h is feathers. He will shel ter you with hi s wings. His

    faithful promises are your armor and protection. Psalm 91:1-4  NLT 

    5. God as our Romancer

    “But then I will win her back once again. I will lead her into the desert

    and speak tenderly to her there. I will return her vineyards to her andtransform the Valley of rouble into a gateway of hope.
