Thank you for being part of our dream of shining for other girls! I’m so excited you’ve chosen this unique study and interactive experience for your group of girls ages 8-88! During our time together you’ll lead your girls in an exciting adventure of discovering that they are designed to shine! You and your girls will be encouraged to:
Explore your dreams the dreams you have for your life Discover the unique way you shine Travel with a supportive pod of friends Recognize pearls for your journey Learn to exchange gifts with your Designer and Ride the wave of God’s dream for your life
Although some of you will meet at the waters edge, others may meet at the edge of a mountain stream, a pristine lake, or even in your own backyard! You might meet as a weekly gathering, as an overnight retreat, or as an all-day experience. No matter which you choose, you’ll have a wonderful time of Bible-based discovery.
You don’t have to be an ocean girl to be encouraged on our journey together. As you’ll soon see, the starfish (or as I like to call it, ocean star) is a symbol of the amazing truth that we all are stars God has designed to shine. So, whether you’ve come from the sea, the mountains, or somewhere in between, I encourage you to discover new treasures that will brighten your life and inspire you to walk closely with your designer.
