Kari’s notes from a women’s retreat

I’m headed out to pick up Kari from a women’s retreat she taught/preached at this weekend (read her notes ). Dutch and I stayed home to play and pray, and are so excited to get our wife and mommy back. It was a joy to sit and read her notes while she preached and be praying for her through the various points.

  • Kari posted her notes/manuscript from her two talks at the retreat — from Philippians 2:1-4:

1 Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, 2 fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. 3 Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. 4 Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.

I encourage anyone to read them, and not only women — there are insights in there for everyone, and definitely for men. Her words are challenging, rebuking and teaching me so much. Praise God I married "up," in so many ways!

The beauty of the Bible is its relevance to all of life and its power to give insight into the deep issues of our lives. God continues to speak through His Word. And Kari is a humble mouthpiece for Him.

    The two Greek words de ("but") and Theos ("God") are the first two words of Ephesians 2:4: "But God, who is rich in mercy..." Because of God's great love and grace extending to us in Jesus Christ, we are forgiven, redeemed and able to know, love + enjoy God more fully, ever-increasing and forever.
    This site contains the thoughts and conclusions and journeys of the Patterson family -- Jeff, Kari and Dutch -- who have experienced the front-end of God's amazing grace, and continue to delight in His unfailing love.
