Deepen Your Faith

A Legacy of Love & Light
Our dear Gayla poured her life's wisdom and faith into these pages. Shortly after completing this workbook, she was called home in the fall of 2024.
Her family and friends are honored to continue her mission by sharing this final, precious gift with the world. We know she is cheering on every person who begins this journey.
Creating Refuge is more than her words on paper — it is her heart for every woman to know she is fully seen, fully known, and fully loved by God. As you work through these pages, may you feel the same peace and joy Gayla so freely gave to others.
And may this experience become a lasting part of your walk with Him, transforming not only your heart, but the hearts and homes of those around you.
