Gentle Beginnings
“I am about to do something new.
See, I have already begun! Do you not see it?
I will make a pathway through the wilderness.
I will create rivers in the dry wasteland.”
(Isaiah 43:19, NLT)
Don’t you just love new beginnings? A chance to start again, to breathe the fresh air of promise and hope, wonder and potential!
January is such a time!
Sometimes, however, instead of simply receiving it as a promised gift, it's easy to approach the New Year with an attitude of “beating it into submission” – resolving to change things about ourselves and our lives by the strong arm of our own effort.
But what if we tried something different? What if, instead, we viewed this year as something that has already been formed in the heart of our Father and is hidden there in seed form. What if instead of muscling our way to transformation, we came into the quiet to listen for what was on His heart for this new year and then allowed Him to lovingly lead us forward.
What if the New Year held a Gentle Beginning?
We’ll be spending time this Oasis Retreat considering these things and giving space to listen for God’s gentle Voice. Come join us in allowing Him to cultivate vision and hope for the brand-new year ahead!
Oasis Retreat is designed to provide space and time in the quiet for a fresh encounter with the One Who knows us best and loves us most. Through worship, devotional thoughts, prayer, interactive reflective stations and stillness, Oasis helps focus our thoughts and attention back on God, and positions our hearts to receive the healing, refreshment, and comfort He longs to give us.

“Trust God from the bottom of your heart;
don’t try to figure out everything on your own.
Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go;
He’s the One Who will keep you on track.”
(Proverbs 3:5-6)
Come join us in allowing Him to cultivate vision and hope for the brand-new year ahead!
