My first introduction to Myrrh, was by far the most impactful because it was the year that the founder’s daughter changed her address from earth to heaven. The theme: Joy in the Mourning had been decided months prior, and the conference was days away. I found myself praying in desperation for her daughter’s life, not recognizing the conference was being played out in front of me, before it ever happened. I believe the Spirit of God continues to speak prophetically. I’ve had the honor of attending, but also ministering prophetically at Myrrh. The divine attention to details and specific ways that the Lord ministers to each woman, prophetically, emotionally, and physically has made a profound difference in my life. The Lord prepares a message, a heart and a timing for every person that says yes.

Attending MYRRH retreats have been life-changing and impactful in my life with God. The atmosphere is set for a wonderful relaxing time to connect with God in quiet moments yet also among other women that are learning, growing and exploring together. My walk with God has been strengthened as I’ve heard powerful teachings and also shared testimonies and impacting moments between women as we share real authentic relationships together. Margret and her team have loved me with unconditional love, which drives me closer to the heart of God and makes me feel accepted in a group of women that love and strengthen each other. I look forward to spending time with God and time with women at these retreats. Come as you are … let’s share life & come spend time with Daddy God!

Coming to MYRRH retreats has been both life changing and life giving. I always tell women: it’s like a taste of heaven. The love, joy, peace, safety and presence of the Holy Spirit is thick and undeniable. As someone with nonstop trials and hardship, this ministry has been a lighthouse in my life.

I have now been to two MYRRH retreats. My first was in a time of desperation. My life was full of fear, pain and the unknown. I’m a bit of an introvert and I was honestly terrified about going but the connections that I made were EXACTLY what God ordered. It was more than what I needed. I went home changed and like a thousand pounds was taken off my shoulders. I was eager for the following year. Even though I was in a much better season on my second trip I went home with so many buried wounds healed. It was a weekend I didn’t realize how desperately I needed. The time, thought and energy that is put in these retreats is incredible. A wonderful experience and relaxing, safe space.

Born and raised in Louisiana, I’m a homegrown girl. Lived there my entire life. Then in 2015, we moved to Texas for a job. I left everything I knew and loved. All my life long friends. I had been in Texas for 2 years when mom passed away. My time was spent caring for her. When she died, I had a huge void. I lost all my friends and now mom. I met a friend who invited me to a Myrrh Retreat in 2018. I felt like I needed to get away. That was the day Margret “collected” me. She and all the ladies embraced me as one of their own. I was hurting and also had church wounds. I needed healing. The retreats were a place for me to go and process and reset; to begin to heal; to become part of a loving and inclusive community. If you need prayer, they are there; Anytime, not just during the retreat. They are there to embrace you when you need to be held; they are there to give you the words of encouragement when you can’t seem to go on. The retreats have been an anchor and my circle. I make time every year to go and to be loved on.

I have had the privilege of attending many MYRRH Retreats. Every year God shows up in a mighty way with a new message. The first big revelation from Him came during The Real Me retreat in 2012. That was the year that He showed me that I had allowed a spirit of fear to control me. This spirit dictated almost every part of my life even though I called myself a Daughter of the King. With His help, I sent that thing packing! 2 Timothy 1:7 became my verse. Have I always been able to walk in that freedom? Sadly, no. However, MY God is a God of many chances! He will NEVER leave me! He gives us an infinite number of redo!

Twelve years ago, a precious friend invited me to my first Myrrh Retreat and I look forward to the next one each year. No matter what I am struggling with before a retreat, whether it is hurt and anger, anxiety or brokenness, God meets me right there. The wonderful women whom have become my extended family, pull me right into the throne room with them and the touch from God is powerful! The days are full of fun, food and fellowship. Each retreat is life changing and refreshing, I leave each with true freedom in Christ. Thank you, Myrrh Ministries, for the wonderful opportunity to re-charge my spiritual life and reconnect with God and friends!

Myrrh Ministries has Forever changed my life! From the first time I walked through the doors, I instantly knew my life was going to be different. I was loved, seen, and chosen by all the women at Myrrh Ministries. I was able to be real and open with these women. Not only am I continually being poured into, but I have been able to build lifelong relationships with other women who love Jesus! My heart has been knit together with women from all other states, who get to see each other at least once a year. We also stay connected throughout the year. We are truly a family who lives to serve others and glorify the Lord. We worship the Lord together and the speakers are always so encouraging. The time and prayer put into the location/accommodations and all the details is unbelievable. God knew I needed this particular retreat and this ministry in my life. Words could never do justice to what happens when you attend a Myrrh Ministry Retreat! Thank you, MYRRH for loving me and others so well!!

My first MYRRH retreat was in 2010. The Lord used this retreat to introduced me to women who encouraged me and challenged me to grow in my spiritual understanding of God, Jesus, and Holy Spirit. To say it forever changed my relationship with the Lord is an understatement. These women are still dear friends of mine today. The Lord has drawn me back to many retreats and each and every time He has met me exactly where I needed to be met. This is one of the main things I love about MYRRH Ministries, although there is a theme to each retreat, they leave room for the Lord to move in and minister to each and every heart. Last, and definitely not least, I cherish my long and growing list of friendships made through these retreats. It is amazing how ladies from all over the country can gather together in one place for one weekend and walk away with so much love and joy for the Lord and for each other, time and time again.

My first retreat was here in Crestview, FL, when my friend, Margret, had a one-day conference on Spiritual Gifts. I have been to almost every one since. The different speakers each year are amazing with wonderful teachings in a very comfortable and friendly atmosphere. I look forward to every year to see what God has for me. Getting over old hurts, help in different areas of my marriage, the true meaning of friendship are just a few things that have helped me. I also love to see old friends and meet new ones. Margret and her team are such a blessing to me that I want to come back every year. I am thankful that Margret has collected me.

For more years than I can remember, I have been participating in Myrrh Ministry Retreats. Why do I go year after year, and sometimes twice a year. I am so glad you asked. When I first began going, I was very new to living a Spirit-filled life. I have been to many retreats, but Myrrh is different. Through Myrrh, I found a safe and overflowing space to learn about Holy Spirit in depth, as well as learn to allow Him to operate in and through me. Learning to listen to, follow and obey Him as He leads is encouraged at Myrrh, but always in submission to Him and the covering of Margret and the Board. If I had to say one thing, I have gained the most personally, it is learning about the prophetic. In my upbringing and graduate education, I was not taught this gift. So, for me, Myrrh has opened up an entire “new to me” realm of walking in the Spirit. One of those times was at the retreat in GA. I received a prophetic word from one of the Board members, which she got on the drive to GA. She didn’t really know me, but God wrecked me through that word and confirmed the power of the prophetic in my heart and soul. And the other most impactful time was in 2016 when Margret was unable to attend the retreat in Panama City Beach. After the retreat, a couple friends and I drove back to Fort Worth to be with the Aragona family as they celebrated the life of their oldest daughter Tia. To see the Board completely run with the retreat in Margret’s absence spoke to the unity of the Board. Finally, every retreat is like a framily reunion. I have sisters for life in the ever-growing circle of beautiful Women of God.

I love being able to be a part of a ministry where God’s presence and His written and spoken Word are valued and invited! Where lasting community is developed and personal intimacy with God prioritized. You are in store for a beautiful weekend!

MYRRH retreats have given me a place to belong, feel loved and encouraged to be a Jesus lover. During the 2018 retreat a lesson on “The Issue of Comparison” by Maci, has been a huge spiritual marker in my life. She spoke that the root of comparison is discontentment, the results steal peace, joy and time and how to get out; ask the Lord what He sees. “Life is a sacred calling”. I am forever changed and will attend every retreat the Lord makes available to me.

I vividly remember the moment my life changed forever. I was at a crossroads, feeling lost and uncertain about my future. One evening, while in deep contemplation, I experienced a revelation from God. It was as if a veil had been lifted from my eyes, and I saw my purpose with unparalleled clarity. I knew I needed to find a space where I could nurture this newfound understanding and grow spiritually. That’s when I discovered MYRRH Retreats. From the moment I arrived, I felt an overwhelming sense of peace and belonging that I hadn’t experienced anywhere else. The retreat provided a sanctuary away from the noise and distractions of daily life, allowing me to truly connect with God and myself. The community at MYRRH was incredibly supportive and understanding, creating an environment where I felt safe to explore my faith and personal growth. The guided insightful workshops, and serene natural surroundings all contributed to a profound transformation in my life. What sets MYRRH apart is the genuine care and dedication of the facilitators, who are deeply committed to helping each participant on their spiritual journey. They offer personalized guidance and support, ensuring that every moment at the retreat is meaningful and impactful. Through my time at MYRRH, I have found a renewed sense of purpose and direction. The revelations and insights I gained there continue to inspire and guide me daily. This retreat has truly been a life-changing experience, and I am eternally grateful for the profound impact it has had on my life.

I was blessed to get to go to a MYRRH retreat in July of 2023. I don’t normally like going to women’s events because I tend to be an oddball. But I heard so many amazing things, I couldn’t pass up the offer. The first thing I noticed was there was nowhere to hide, and that is a good thing! Women were always around and the activities allowed for some great structured intro conversations. I knew hardly anyone there so I was so thankful that the environment fostered intentional times to connect. The most impactful thing to me was that I had just returned home from serving the Lord in a really hostile environment overseas. I returned home not knowing how the days ahead would work out. He allowed the innocence of strangers asking me about how I had served to really expose some unspoken fears and the heartache that one goes through when grieving a loss of that magnitude. I am so grateful how the Lord provided a safe place where I could receive what the Lord had for me. After that weekend, I felt that I was ready to step into the new season he had for me with a lot less heaviness! It was beautiful what the Lord used that weekend to unlock in me. So thankfu for the time and energy invested into the entire weekend by all the ladies for the retreat!

In 2022 a precious friend invited me to be her guest at a MYRRH retreat. I was at a low point in my life. I had been struggling with a lot of things and felt like I had lost touch with God. I was hoping this retreat would help me feel that connection with God again. I was surprised that everyone was so welcoming and REAL! Everyone was themselves, not pretending to be a “perfect Christian.” It was such a pleasant surprise! The topics discussed were not topics typically discussed at retreats, but VERY RELEVANT to life. Not only did I reconnect with God, but I learned so much about myself and found a community of women that are open, honest, and obedient to God. I’m so grateful for MYRRH Ministries! I am looking forward to returning!

I am forever grateful for the invitation to the October 2023 retreat, which has become a significant part of my healing journey. The very intentional atmosphere at the retreat caused me to let my guard down, allowing the Lord to touch me deeply. The women who attended surprised and blessed me, as their love for the Lord was tangible and beautiful. My key takeaway was that “in His presence is fullness of Joy, and The Body of Christ is beautiful.” I am looking forward to the next retreat!

My mom went to a retreat the year before I did. She told me how it changed her life and invited me to the next one. I decided to go and little did I know I was in the beginning of my next chapter of life. I had no expectations when going to the retreat. I just wanted to go and listen. If I receive something out of it, cool, if not, then I will just keep moving forward. As soon as I got there everyone was so welcoming and happy. It felt different, a sense of peace and belonging. During one of the breakout sessions, I had opened up about my situation with my daughter’s dad to one of the leaders, She prayed with me. I thought I was done with that, and it was over, I could move on. It was not, God had other plans. The next day one of the speakers was talking about the victim mentality. She started talking about forgiveness, then she stopped in the middle of her talk and said, “I sense someone in here needs to understand what forgiveness is.” I knew instantly it was me, she was talking to me directly from God. She explained what forgiveness is. I knew at that moment, it was time to forgive and give the situation over to God. I had been holding onto the pain and anger for so long. Letting go was such an experience I can’t even find words to describe. I forgave and left the weekend a changed woman. I now have such a thirst for more of God and want other women to feel His presence and peace also. I cannot wait to see what He has in store for me next! God is so, so good!!

I really value my time at the Myrrh retreats. It’s so refreshing to get away with like minded women to rest and reset, but Yahweh never fails to meet us there with such sweetness and love. At every retreat there is a marking moment where He reveals to me why I’m there. One that comes to mind immediately was a couple of years ago. During the prophetic time, there was one person that said something like, “you’ve been saying to God, ‘why me?’ and He says, ‘why not you?'” I broke. I had absolutely been asking that exact question, and 2 people that are very close to me were there that could attest to that. It’s a simple and pretty common question that I’m sure we’ve all cried out to Him multiple times, however, I really did feel like I was not properly handling something so precious that He had given to me, and I really did feel like I was not the best fit for the call. That one moment was so special to me, and it was all because someone chose to spend time with Yahweh on my behalf. I so very much appreciate the heart of the Myrrh leaders and the intentionality that comes from each of them. It’s not just a time away, it really is a set apart weekend to focus on what He’s doing and hear His heart a little more clearly. I look forward to it every single year.
