​celebrate! - CHRISTINA REEVES (A goodbye, but not reallly)

Behold, I do a new thing…
As of July 1st, I am stepping down as Women’s Coordinator.   As some of you know, my husband recently retired and we have had a desire to do marriage ministry for years.  We are taking this next year to see what God would want us to do with this desire.  As of now, we are still in the area and will be attending Cold Springs Church. 
Bible study and life groups for women will continue and the women’s blog will still be posted weekly. Events will happen as God calls women in our faith family to step into areas of passion. Pastor Esther Tress continues to be a resource to equip, encourage and empower women. 

“I thank my God every time I remember you.  In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

I want to thank the people who walked this journey with me…

• My family who loved and supported me in 1,000 different ways – your sacrifice goes beyond measure. Te quiero.
• The church staff for countless hours of coaching, training, encouraging and loving me.  What I take away is more than I have given.
• The leaders of ladies’ connections, Bible study, Embrace Grace, the Leadership Cohort, Freedom Writers and the Ladies Retreat, for co-creating and collaborating on some beautiful “God dreams”.  It’s amazing to see what He did with our loaves and fishes.
• All the ladies who volunteered their gifts and time for Spring into Beauty, Evening of Inspiration and the Ladies Tea – it takes the whole body of Christ to fulfill His purposes and you all rose to meet that need.

Words cannot describe the joy I have had in seeing God’s faithfulness in our personal growth, outreach to needs in the community and the annual invitations for women who came through our doors for annual events.

Challenge and Encouragement:
Remember that it takes 10,000 hours to become an expert, and while we logged some of those hours, there are plenty more!  If you have an idea and passion for something that God has laid on your heart, I encourage you to pursue that passion with the church leadership and bring about the “new thing” that God has for this season.

With Much Love & Gratitude,
Christina
