Devotional Dedication -REAL. Calling ALL women if this describes you : To the ones who feel unseen, unheard, and forgotten . To the woman who has carried shame so long it feels like a second skin. To the broken, weary, the desperate-the ones searching for healing in all the wrong places. You’ve tried it all- relationships, titles, substances, success, money, and still the ache remains. I know because I’ve been there too.
Women’s Monthly Gathering — “At the Windowsill”
Sponsored by Broken to Beauty Ministries
A new DBA of Cre8 Studios LLC
This gathering is a gathering of women.
A safe place.
A still place.
A place to breathe.
This is the first of our monthly women’s gatherings, where we come together to meet, share, laugh, and simply be. A place where we walk alongside one another, talk honestly, and rest in the presence of women who understand what it means to carry a lot and still show up.
A place where you can be free, be still, be loved, and be accepted — exactly as you are.
There is no pressure, no performing, no expectations. This is not a class; it’s a journey. A journey of becoming REAL… so we can become aware… so we can deal… so we can heal.
Why the first gathering has a cost:
Your registration includes a copy of the devotional REAL we will be discussing together. Each month, we’ll explore something new — a teaching, a reflection, a devotional insight — something that invites us deeper into truth, wholeness, and authenticity.
Future Gatherings May Include Crafting
In the months ahead, there may be gatherings where we create, craft, paint, or make something beautiful with our hands.
But this first gathering is intentionally different.
This one is about learning to be still.
Not producing.
Not striving.
Not checking boxes.
Not proving anything.
We are learning how to rest again — how to sit, how to exhale, how to let God quiet the noise and refill the places in us we have emptied by always doing.
Before we create with our hands, we need to learn how to create space in our souls.
Food & Fellowship
Please bring a dish to share.
We connect around food — we always have.
It’s part of celebration, comfort, and community.
And yes… there will always be dessert.
What You’ll Find Here:
• A room full of women who understand what it means to carry life
• A place to unwind and exhale
• A safe space to be seen, heard, and known
• A new beginning for a new year
This is your moment to shift.
To stop being sick and tired of being sick and tired.
To say no more — no more to the past that held you, the pain that shaped you, or the patterns that drained you.
This is your New Year’s promise to yourself:
“Today is the day.
This will be my year of freedom.”
Faith-Based, But Open to Every Woman
This gathering is rooted in faith — in God’s love, God’s healing, and God’s presence.
But even if you are not a Christian, you are welcome here.
You need community.
You need connection.
You need a place to belong.
And maybe — just maybe — God is inviting you into something new.
Not church.
Not religion.
But relationship.
A different kind of knowing.
A different kind of love.
A different kind of becoming.
Come sit with me at the windowsill.
Come be real.
Come be still.
Come breathe again.
There is a seat waiting for you.
