This Weekend...

I went with 24 other women from my church on a Women's Retreat! I had a smashingly good time! Translation: I had a BLAST!!

We left the church at about 6 pm Friday and arrived at 7:15. We had a nice dinner that was greatly appericated. Then we went to the cabin to find beds and get settled in.

I shared a room with my Friend Michelle and a lovely lady Ms. G. We then had Bible Study time and we played a getting to know you game. We went around the room telling our names and how long we have been with the church, then we went around answering a question that our leader Mrs. B, gave to us. As we answered the question we each recieved a personal note of encouragement and a supprise gift. * Mine was a candle, My FAVORITE!*

 

Then we began our bible study on Having a Wise Heart. It was GREAT!! I am so glad I went and had the chance to learn about God's wisdom and our desire to have Godly wisdom as women and as Christians.

Michelle and I were up until after 2 am talking about life and it was lovely.

 

Saturday we got up to go have a great breakfast. Biscuts, Gravy, sausage, eggs, fruit and cereal. Then we went back to the cabin to finish our bible study and it was rather govial. There was lots of participation and lots of feedback.

After we prayed and dismissed we were asked to take the time alone to pray and spend time with God alone.

As I walked and talked with my Abba Father, I began to sing songs of worship. I tell you I never felt more at peace and in tune to the Spirit of Christ. I know that I certainly desire to have that kind of relationship with my Saviour all the time.

 

If you don't know Jesus I pray that you will seek him and allow him to Change your life. Jesus is the reason I live today . With out him I would have died several years ago in a small Texas town. Even though back then I didn't realize it God was planning great things for me.

 

He blessed me with a wonderful husband who even though he knows my faults and my past loves me with the love of Christ. He blessed me with a Child who even though I didn't give birth to her is my child and is a precious gift. She is growing every day and I am blessed to get to be a part of her adult hood and some day when she is blessed with a family of her own I'll get to spoil my grandchildren.

 

Jesus loves you!

 

" Lord I want to be like Jesus,

In my heart, in my heart.

Lord I want to be like Jesus, In my heart.

In my heart, In my heart,

Lord I want to be like Jesus in my heart."
