About this Event
Your wait has purpose. Your becoming deserves intention.
Maybe you are tired of hearing “your time is coming.” Maybe it feels like everyone around you is getting engaged while you quietly ask, “God, did I miss it?” Or maybe you have been so busy holding everything together that you forgot to tend your own light.
You are not behind. You are being prepared.
Coach Ce knows this place. She had the dream proposal and the custom ring, everything she thought she wanted. Then God asked her one question. On November 21, she will share what He asked and what it taught her about waiting with intention.
In Matthew 25, ten women waited for the bridegroom. All ten had lamps, but only five brought oil. What set them apart was not their looks, their timing, or their status. It was what they had tended in private. This afternoon is about your oil: your walk with God, your standards, your discernment, and the sisterhood that keeps you ready.
There is room for you here. This is a women-only gathering, and every woman is welcome. That includes women who desire to wait, are thinking about it, or are already waiting, and married women who come to add value to the space. Whether your commitment is new, well established, or something you are still learning to trust God with, come as you are.
