My mother-in-law, Donna, spoke on Friday night on "The Strength of Seed and the Power of Prayer". Challenging us to think about what we are sowing and what we are producing in our lives.
On Saturday morning and Saturday evening our other speaker Anne Bosman, spoke to us on the "Pursuit of Becoming Strong" and "How Do We BE Strong and Walk In It?" We must know who we are, know where we are as a child of God and believe we can do what God has said we can do.
It is always amazing to share the weekend with all the ladies from our 4 different campuses, as well as others who join them. I love seeing friends I don't always get to see who attend other campuses, as well as meeting new friends.
My roommates were two of my close girlfriends, Michele and Joy. I have shared so much life with these two and it was great to share in the fun of getting away together. Our room was adjoining with my sister-in-law Susie and other friend Lisa, which was an extra treat. Lots of laughs, thanks to Lisa.
It really was such an amazing weekend away for me. Each year the "feel" of retreat is always different. Although the schedule of it is typically the same each year, something new always takes place. This was an extra special year for me though, The Lord spoke so much and I came home a different woman then when I arrived.
I walked away with a confidence I didn't have before.
I walked away fully knowing the Lord will take my hand, guide me and will show me the way he has for ME.
I walked away believing even deeper that HE can do more than I think or imagine.
I walked away wanting to go wherever He calls me.
I walked away STRONG... in Christ.
I am so thankful for these weekends away. Sometimes you have to get out of your routine so God can speak to you in a nonroutine way. - Mark Batterson "The Circle Maker"
