Hi! I’m Wendy Griffith. I’m so glad you’re here! Thank you for showing so much love and interest in my first Singles Retreat! I’m so excited to meet you! And if you’re waiting on God to bring you the love of your life or tempted to give up because it hasn’t happened yet, I’m here to tell you – You Didn’t Miss It! and It’s Not too late!
When I was in my late 40’s and going through my greatest heartbreak, God whispered, “You didn’t miss it and it’s not too late! And now, I’m going to bring you My best!”
I was 52 years old when I was introduced to my future husband and 54 when I walked down the aisle for the very first time! And I’m telling you, it was worth the wait. You didn’t stumble across this page by accident. I believe God wants to give you hope and let you know what I now know, You Didn’t Miss it!
Love, WendyIn Person Details…
