One week ago at this moment, I was on a hillside in Georgia, surrounded by some of the most beautiful hearts I’ve ever been blessed to know.

We sat together on sunny lawns and wandered around the lake, just soaking in the first warm, tip-toeing hints of autumn. We sipped tea and coffee late into the night as we mustered up the courage to whisper-share our big dreams. And we sang with abandon inside the dim chapel, and later asked each other what it was we felt God calling us to do with our lives, with our gifts and talents, our time and our passions.

For the third year, I went to the Pursuit 31 Conference at WinShape Retreat, and for the third year, I felt as if I were surrounded by long-lost soul mates. Over the past three years, and again last week, these women have hugely impacted the course of my life, and the way I want to live my life.

Here’s just a little peek into it all, thanks to the incredible TréCreative Film & Photo.
