These messages are ideal for Women's Ministry groups in the Seattle area who want to take a break from the in-depth bible study format because these are geared for applying the concepts shared, rather than filling out daily study pages.  All of the messages are approximately 30-40 minutes in length.  Kim can present either a single message or visit weekly with a package of your choice.  For out of area interest a weekend retreat package can be customized.  Each message includes discussion questions for small group interaction.  If your group runs 15 women and under your session would best benefit from the discussion time facilitated by the speaker.  For groups over 15, smaller group discussion time can take place following the message.   Pricing for various packages are listed below.  

 

            In our busy lives , it's sometimes easier to get our "to do" list finished before choosing to nurture those significant friendships.  True friendship takes effort to make and work to keep.

 

            No matter where we are coming from in each of our marriages, the tendency is to feel dissatisfied.  This message examines the root of this tendency and how to strive for the marriage God intended for you.

 

            Children do not make a family, they expand a family.  This message will explore child-centered parenting, learning how to ask for forgiveness, training the heart and many other helpful tips in the parenting journey.

 

            Some things just don't involve a choice, such as chocolate...and going to church.  The focus however, is not just about going to church, but enjoying the fellowship God offers us in our daily walk with Him. 

 

            We often allow our emotions to color our financial decisions.  Could it be that we are often not shopping for food or clothing, but for an experience?

 

            Our bad attitudes come from the negative circumstances in our lives and the uncertainty those circumstances bring.  Demonstrating a cheerful, godly attitude takes personal examination and careful study of God's word regarding gossip, slander and a negative spirit.

 

 

 

 

            We'll often hear, "Do you know your Father's voice?"  But consider the question, "Do you know your Father's smell?"  God indeed has a smell and is the original perfumer!

 

            Our first step in finding our true destination is learning to trust God.  We need to have full confidence in the fact that He has the best plan for us.  We cannot figure it out better, as much as we try.

 

            Exploring and discovering our unique spiritual gifts.

 

            Seeing the "Armor of God" in a fresh and freeing perspective. 

 

            As much as we'd like to be "long lasting," the truth  is that we barely make it past 9:00am!  But what joy we can find in knowing that God is indeed able to stand through it all and that He's completely faithful even when we falter or our world does not show faithfulness.

 

            Cleansing, refreshing, renewal; we need to constantly "exfoliate" the inside as well as the outside.

 

            Do we experience "peer pressure" as adult women?  Absolutely!  And it's robbing us of our God-given uniqueness.  We will learn how to be different for God and awaken those hopes and dreams that are uniquely ours.

 

 

 

            Emily Green Balch said, "I find it right and helpful to create parks in our crowded and overpopulated minds."  It's trying to take the word "rest" and remove thoughts of sleep, vacation, or sitting in front of the t.v. with a big bowl of ice cream and replacing it with silence, solitude, and reflection.   

 

            What exactly is health?  If you google the word you'll end up with 1,160,000,000 options!  This message focuses specifically on food, often an idol in our life.

 

            God is pretty clear when it comes to worry.  He says, "Don't!"  How we need help with this one.  Worries will be a steady invasion in our life, it's how we deal with it that counts.

 

               Everything is always changing.  Even change changes!  This message will help us get the big picture, keep our expectations realistic, develop our own personal change tactics, and learn how to do some anchoring. 

 

                We'll take an unusual slant with this critical and challenging topic.  For example, healthy prayer can be like vomitting, leaving it all in the throne!

 

 To Break or Not To Break: Choosing Brokenness

                In the physical world when something breaks it lies there in a thousand pieces.  So if we were to "break" nothing would get done.  So we don't.  We hold it all together.  Could spiritual brokenness possibly look different?

 

                I love to dance, but don't do it enough.  There is something to celebrate everyday, you just have to find it.  And when you do...DANCE!!
