Our Abba Art Retreat - What an amazing time we had playing and painting!

I got instantly excited when my longtime friend, Michelle Watson, called to arrange an art journaling retreat for some  women she mentors, who in turn mentor 7th and 8th grade girls.  She said I would fall in love with these lovely ladies, and she was right! We met Saturday and Sunday, played and prayed, painted and laughed… The photos show better than I can tell, the beautiful, energetic women and their artistic expression in their "Abba Art Journals"

Dr. Michelle Watson leads dads who have daughters in their teens and 20's, to help them become more intentional with pursuing relationships with their daughters. The name of it is The Abba Project. "Abba" is Daddy in Aramaic. Abba's Girls is an offshoot of the 

Abba Project

, where girls and women are encouraged to know they are loved by their Abba Father God. Her website is:
