Our final Valor Women’s Forum of the year is coming up in 3 Weeks! We are thankful for all the women who have shared life and insight with us, as well as what we have learned from one another.
••••••
The last forum was truly a sacred space. 
••••••
Join us Tuesday April 27 as we dive into the complicate world of Time Management. As women in the Military, you are asked to juggle a lot of responsibilities and relationships. 
Some questions we might discuss: 
- How do you make time for building into family and friendships when working odd hours or deployed? 
- How do you develop a relationship with God and a faith Community when it seems that every minute is already dictated for you? 
- Juggling time and stress can be connected, is it possible to experience peace when living such a busy and active life and career? How do you manages the pressure? 
- What tools have helped you see progress in how you use your time? 
- What are signs that you need to reprioritize? 
- How do you respond when life gets out of control? 
As an Orthopedic Surgeon in the Army, and now a Medical Professional, Shaunette Davey is well acquainted with a busy life. She is joining the Forum to share her successes, failures, and how she has learned to look at Jesus in the midst of a schedule that could very easily manage her rather than her managing it.
