With the busyness of life as a leader, it's important to make sure you're taking reflective time away. kellydking is sharing her tips for creating your own personal leader retreat:
Are you a woman who leads? Maybe you don’t see yourself as a leader, but God has you leading someone right where you are. Maybe it’s your kids, your friends, or the teenager next door. Maybe it’s a Women’s Ministry, a team at work, or a small group. This series—led by our women’s ministry specialist, Kelly King—will help you no matter where you lead and whether you’re leading one or one thousand.
While you may not have the opportunity to get away to a mountain cabin this summer, as leaders, it’s important to consider how you can develop a habit of taking a personal retreat—an extended time when you consider how the Lord is working in your life and seek direction for any new steps in front of you.
If you’ve never considered taking a personal retreat or you have no idea how you might use this time to its fullest, here are some reasons and practical steps on how to incorporate this practice into your life:Jesus Himself pulled away from the demands of ministry to spend time with His Father. Luke 5:16 says, “Yet he often withdrew to deserted places and prayed.” Matthew 14:23 says, “After dismissing the crowds, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray.
The most important aspect of a personal retreat is planning out your time or schedule. Some leaders might be able to instinctively know how to spend several hours alone with the Lord, but I feel like my time is more beneficial when I have a plan. If you would like a guideline, here are a few schedules to consider. Adapt them to fit your needs, but if you’ve never experienced a personal retreat, these schedules may be helpful.
