Testing me to the max-
So...this season of my life is hard...but so rewarding as well. Retreat was awesome...for the 7 hours i was there at least :)-
See, Jeremy got off work almost 2 hours later than we thought he would, then his car broke down and we had to go get mine...so I arrived at Sky Lodge about 30 min. Prior to Woman's Time...which i was leading...talk about TRUST. Sadly, I walked by sight and panicked...forgetting that He is faithful and sovereign, I freaked out. Eventually, I came back to His promises and was renewed. He blessed me abundantly with several woman who greeted me at my arrival and prayed for me - thank you Jess, Ginny, Casey and Ashley. The reason for all this? He emptied me. There was not one ounce of me left to "rely" on during woman's time...it was absolutely Him. As it should be. So, with it being absolutely Him, it was a wonderful time...woman were real, shame and isolation were recognized as the lie that they are and God ...His name and renown was glorified. Almost immediately afterward, I was sick again- Back to the "Job season" He is taking me through these past few months. But...i will delight in hardships because I know Him more through them.

Moment of the Weekend: 75 woman singing acapella, "Lord Prepare Me" - there are few things as beautiful as this...The King of kings precious daughters praising Him together-

Realization of the Weekend: Confirmation (again) that I need Him every moment of every day (duh!), Affirmation that I am called to woman's ministry for this life- :)
