Oh Lenora, thank you so much for your review. I loved working with you as well. Your words of encouragement spur me forward. And, what a blessing it is to serve with you again through the First Love Marriage Conference. Blessings to you my friend!

November 9, 2014Fantastic speaker and beautiful lady!
We had Carla come speak two years in a row for our ladies group in Upstate NY. Carla and her staff were so accommodating and prayed for us every step of the way! Carla is a wonderful speaker with a love for Jesus that shines through. As Carla says, it gives me "Jesus bumps" just thinking about the experience and to see how women grew closer to Christ during those weekends. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Carla! My dear friend.

Wow, I am overwhelmed by your encouraging review and testimony. Thank you so much for sharing your experience about working with Reflective Life Ministries and myself. You are an amazing leader and so sensitive to the Holy Spirit's direction. I consider it a blessing to have spoken at the women's retreat two years in a row. Blessings to you!

November 7, 2014Carla McDougal is an amazing speaker who loves the Lord!
I am honored to say I have had two fantastic experiences with Carla McDougal of Reflective Life Ministries. I attended two of her conferences/Retreats (Walking on High Heels and Operation Basic Training) in the past two years and cannot say enough about her heart for Jesus. Her speaking and ministry is purely based on the Word of God and her stories throughout sessions delight so many. She has touched hearts deeply with Godly wisdom in ways that have lasting impression. It has been a blessing to get to know Carla. She is a loving, giving, humble servant of The Lord and her ministry is all for the glory of God!! I look forward to being in fellowship and worship with her and the many opportunities/conferences RLM has to offer in the future. Her smile and personality light up a room and Jesus surely shines in and through her! Praising God for Carla and how she serves The Lord in all that she does. Thank you Carla McDougal of Reflective Life Ministries!

Humbled. Encouraged. Overwhelmed. Thank you, Tara, for this heart-felt review! I praise the Lord for connecting me with Faith Baptist Church in upstate New York. Through an internet search, FBC connected with me in Texas. It was an honor to be the speaker of their women's retreat in 2013 and then again in 2014. The women also went through both my Bible studies... Reflecting Him and My Prayer Chair. My husband and I are excited to return in 2015 as the speakers for their marriage conference. Love how God connects His children together for His purposes to be accomplished!
