Retreat to the English Countryside

I had a great week, thank you for your prayers! I got to see women I have not seen in about 5 years, so it was great to catch up with them and hear what is going on in their lives. I also got to meet many new women and formed some great friendships!

I'm not really sure what to say about the retreat to be honest. It was a good time of reflection for me...what is important to me, what direction I need to take in some areas of my life, a time to rest and relax (sort of) and a time to just laugh and have fun. Amy Nobles from Texas came to lead worship all week for us. She was very sweet and we found out we have a mutual friend, the guy who produced her most recent album, so that was fun! Marilyn Jeffcoat from Total Sculpt came to share her amazing testimony and keep us fit! :) Patricia Wade and the women of the Esther Experience came to minister to us all week as well. I was amazed at their enthusiasm and generosity...not only in taking time to come here, but they just lavished love and gifts on us like crazy! God used them one particular night to speak to me in a way that I have never experienced. Without getting too personal here, I'll just say that God did something in my heart that I've asked of Him for quite a while but just wasn't sure if I would ever experience. I know that does not make sense to you, but just know that God answered your prayers for me and although I went with an expectant heart, I was not prepared for what He did for me! Thank you Jesus.

I might be kind of quiet this week just so you know. I've got lots to get organized and some things to figure out, so I'll be back when it feels like the right thing to do. Plus I've got 2 kids and a hubs that deserve my undivided attention this week! :)

Have a great week!
