Heather Cox’s Workshop Topics

Extreme Makeover:
Heart Edition
Just like the Cinderella story of transformation from rags to splendor, our hearts need a complete makeover to be truly beautiful. Inner beauty (a gentle and quiet spirit) and clothes that won’t wear out begin the makeover. Next you will meet your new personal trainer in order to get in shape spiritually. Lastly, we will discover health food for the soul in order to maintain our heart’s true beauty!

Mumblings of a Mommy “Monk”
Heather’s signature workshop centers on contemplative prayer in the life of a busy woman. How does a mother of three little kids experience contemplative prayer? How can overextended women find time for silence and solitude? What are the benefits of centering prayer and how can we make connection with God a true priority in our lives?

Awakening Your Senses to God
Do you want eyes to see the face of the Almighty and ears to hear the voice of the Almighty? We each long to know how it feels to touch Him and even to taste the goodness of the Lord. This seminar is designed to usher you into the experience of God’s presence by using your God-given imagination in a holy and Biblical way.


Devoted
Holiness is not just for the perfectionist type A personality! What does holiness look like? Holiness can be defined as being devoted, used, and surrendered. Why is holiness required? How do we seek out holiness? This workshop is an innovative approach to holiness and not another list of do’s and don’t’s!

Thank God I Married a Country Boy!
Let me hear a big “Oh no!” for the redneck wife! If your husband has a heart for the country (farm life, outdoor activities, hunting, fishing, etc.), you appreciate the unique challenges “country” wives face. This seminar is full of funny anecdotes hunting “widows” can appreciate and practical suggestions for rekindling the romance with your outdoorsman whether you’re sitting by the fire counting the stars, riding a tractor or ice fishing together!

Tackle that ‘Tude!
Let’s attack pessimism in ourselves and our children! Have you ever had one of those terrible, no good, very bad days? We’ll discuss a Biblical approach to attitude focusing on Philippians 4:8 and look at several practical suggestions for taming troublesome ‘tudes. These ‘tude tamers are for all of us, whether we are parents or not.

Really, Truly, Completely
Authenticity is a key component of true Christianity. How can we recapture the attitude of Jesus in being real and sincere in all we say and do? This session explores the challenges to finding true authenticity and the rewards of complete sincerity.


Twinkle, Sparkle and Shimmer
This Christmas message inspires women to keep the focus of Christmas on the Light of the world. In the chill of winter, may each of our homes and hearts shine with an inviting warmth from within.

Prayer: Does It Make Any Difference? by Phillip Yancey

Shannon, at Rocks in my Dryer , is hosting a huge giveaway! Isn't that exciting! I love to give something meaningful to my friends - as I shop, I always look for just the right item that fits our relationship and the individual's personality. So, if you stop by this little blog of mine, I think you might like this gift I've picked out. This fall, I have been nourished by the wisdom of Phillip Yancey in his recent book on prayer. Our Bible study has plumbed the depths of prayer with Yancey's help in this amazing book. My personal prayer life has been challenged and I have probed the deeper questions surrounding prayer with a beloved mentor. I would love for you to enjoy this book too. I'll be giving the book away to one blessed commenter. So, leave a comment here and I'll be drawing a name next week to give away this treasure box full of well-mined jewels from God's Word and life's experiences. Don't forget to leave a comment to be entered in the draw...

Thankful Thursday

A few things that fill my heart with gratitude... *Bright explosions in the sky *Bug repellent *Calamine and band aids for when we forget about the bug repellent (and the polka dot girl I put to bed each night whose sensitive skin seems to attract the little suckers) *Days spent at the beach *Life jackets *Aloe, although it can't take away a lobster red sunburn, it does soothe *Photographs and memories *The public library. My family has been enjoying plenty of summer library programs. *Ok, I'm even thankful for cockroaches. The kids sure had fun playing with the huge ones the "Bug Guy" Brought in for the last program we attended. They even ate a few bugs. (I am NOT joking!) I, on the other hand, found it conveniently necessary to excuse myself to the restroom right around the time the roaches and tarantulas were being brought out. *I'm thankful for a new job...which will be starting soon (more on that later). *Green slime, explosions, goggles and lab coats...yes,...

God's Encouragement

I am thankful this week for so much, but I have to share my little piece of encouraging news first. I submitted a little article to our newspaper and then I found out they don't accept unsolicited submissions, so I forgot all about it. Then, in our paper today, I saw my article! It was a little encouragement from God to keep plowing away at this writing thing even when it seems difficult. He is so tender-hearted toward me, I feel overwhelmed! I'm also thankful for the world class concert I attended today. I would have paid top notch prices for this concert which played out in a small bedroom with a karaoke. The first artist was a young singer who wrote her own music (straight from her heart) and the song was something about glorifying God by loving Him in all we do. She sang as she danced about in her ballerina costume. Next up was a short toucan with a toddler face peeping out and a loud voice. His arms moved to the music as he told us "My God is so big, so stwo...
