sweet


this was my home away from home for the weekend retreat. at first glance, it was not exactly what i was expecting, but after a couple of days it became pretty comfy. the rest of our group stayed in this big luxury cabin with full kitchen, multiple bathrooms, and a living/dining area, but we didn't get registered with them, so we were on our own.

what made OUR cabin so nice is that it was nestled right in the middle of the woods, and much much cooler than the big place. oh, and the 4 other ladies assigned to stay with us thought it was too small and asked to be relocated. so my friend sher and i had it all to ourselves, a comfy little haven to rest, relax and talk in the midst of the retreat. oh, and we slept a bit too.

i did not feel super great during the trip, but i'm still so glad i went. the Lord definitely lives here! i saw Him in the people especially, who really went above and beyond. sher and i needed that, because of our "special" food needs and a popped tire that happened upon arrival. no need to worry, everything worked out fine!

i did have prayer for healing too. i am believing God has already healed me, now i just need to "walk it out" and not fall prey to doubt and discouragement. really, it's been a fascinating journery, seems God works so much easier in us when we are in hard times, because we finally stop trying to control everything ourselves.

anyway, glad to be catching up on blogs and will be posting some pics soon! my garden just EXPLODED while i was gone, amazing what a few days in 100 degree sun can do!

be blessed everyone :)

obviously those four women don't remember college dorm life. this looks just like it. i'm glad you had a spirit-filled weekend in a beautiful place. and looks like you got to come home to a beautiful place, too. can't wait to see those flowers in person.
