Yesterday Janet and I went to the Women's Breakfast for our church, CCV. It was held at Via Verde Country Club and the theme was "All Things New." First of all, the Country Club is beautiful and the room was decorated perfectly for the theme. We enjoyed a wonderful breakfast, had our picture taken (they actually had a photographer there that will mail the photos to us for free) and visited the vendor booths. The vendors were all women from our church that have their own businesses...what a great way to support our sisters in Christ! Our speaker was Kathi Lipp from Northern California. She was fantastic, absolutely hilarious and filled with such wisdom. She spoke about the burdens we, as women, carry around with us. As she shared the different burdens we carry (expectations, addictions, comparison, "other people's stuff" and fear) she put a chain around her neck. There was a chain on every table and they handed out cards with ribbons on them and she had us write down burdens we are currently carrying. She then had each person at the table tie their cards to the chain, then we physically took the "chain with our burdens" and hung them at the cross. It was such an incredible, physical reminder that we're to surrender our burdens to Christ. We had a great day!
