One Glorious Weekend

Last weekend I was able to attend a Ladies Retreat with some wonderful
women of God. It is a beautiful camp nestled in the woods of Texas. The
flowers and the view of the lake are breath taking. Oh, but the fellowship
is sweet. This is normally my vacation time and I'm able to leave the
worries of home behind. It's one of those special places that I'm able to
reconnect and spend some really good time with my Savior.

Kassi (in middle) would hurt me if she knew that I posted this picture.
However, the look on her face captures her personality...she's a hoot.
The lady on the right is the reason I posted this picture. This is Mrs.
Linda, she has walked a long hard road with me. I thank God each and
every day for her and her love for me.


This is a picture of me (on the right of the paddle boat) and my former
preacher's wife. Another couple of the girls were in another boat and we
decided to have a race across the lake. For the record we won.





This was my favorite part.....well one of them...of the weekend.
I love playing volleyball! We actually had a pretty good team. We
played for two and a half hours and felt every minute of it the next
day. We had to quit when the kids that were on staff at the camp
decided to join...they were a little too rough for us old folks. The
tall guy in the middle...yeah I'm standing somewhere behind him.




Here's the gang! I'm the one in the orange shirt on the right.
These are actually the ladies from my former church. When I
decided to follow God's leading in going back to my home
church...I cried for months at the thought of not being able to
stay with them. God is amazing and has allowed me to remain
close to them and they are gracious enough to understand why
I had to leave. Mrs. Linda informed me that I could not take this
picture of them. That I had to be in the picture because I would
always be a part of them. That's love guys. I still have things that
God spoke to my heart that weekend that I want to share. Right now,
I am still processing it all myself. Plus satan has been chasing me hard
this week.
I pray that we all find time and even a special place that we
can retreat away with Him. You know what? I just love Him and I love
each of you as well. You are a wonderful blessing in my life this season.
Much love.....
