Amanda’s Virtual Retreat Experience
When I first heard about the Hope Mommies Retreat, I wasn’t in the best place due to losing my twins. I basically brushed off the idea of attending. I did not sign up right away. I didn’t know anyone attending. This was way out of my comfort zone, so my feelings about it were hesitant and uncertain. Was this going to be a group of women trying to be overly positive when I didn’t feel positive at all?
Close to the end of registration, it was as if God was tugging at my heart saying, “Look, you’re at the bottom right now. You only can go up from here, right? Just try it. If you don’t like it and you don’t feel My presence, ...

There was an app you could download and everything was so user friendly but also included very beautiful graphics you ...
Selah: 2021 Retreat Theme
Selah. Have you heard this word before? Chances are you’ve read it in the Bible, or maybe you’ve heard of the band by the same name. Whether it is common in your vernacular or brand new to you, I want you to take a moment and soak in the realities of this God-breathed word.
The Hebrew word Selah is found in Scripture 74 times, and 71 of those occur in the book of Psalms. Many commentaries say that Selah is a mysterious, ambiguous word—a word with uncertain meaning.
