The following comments come from participants who have experienced Midlife Momentum through a 24 hour retreat, followed by 5 follow-up sessions. 

I am not so afraid of how I will cope with certain changes in life.  God has been faithful in all of our lives and God doesn't change.

I feel a kinship with others who have struggled in life and yet find meaning and purpose in it.

This experience has increased my expectations that the 2nd half of my life can be better that the 1st half.

I am learning to value myself more.

I will try to be more proactive and persistent in pursuing my goals.

Every stage of life has its advantages and disadvantages.  The difficulties of the past can prepare me for the future.

We received grace from each other.  Nobody tried to fix me.

I need to continue to evaluate my gifts and passions.

The process of writing a mission statement will keep me focused on my priorities.

I will try to hang on to control less, and trust God more!

Why do I let others determine what I do with my life??

What do I need or want to change?

Following the midlife momentum process participants have found the courage and momentum to :

• Go back to school
• Get training for a new career
• Retire early to explore other passions
• Get healthier physically
• Listen to God in new ways
• Become more fully who God has created them to be!
