Weekend report

Today, I have been recovering from the weekend retreat!  It has been wonderful to just stay home.   I had a completely empty calendar except for a contractor coming by to measure our counter tops.   Since we are moving next summer, we wanted to purchase them now so we an enjoy them before we move.  

 

Retreat went really well.  It was fun, relaxing, and renewing.  I came home a better woman, well, except for the amount of calories consumed on the retreat.  The only exercise I got while there was walking to the next meal!   The food was so good.  I don't know if it is because the cooks are really good or just the fact that we didn't have to make it! ha. All we had to do was just walk in and eat!   We didn't have to shop for it, prepare, cook or clean it up!  That is one of the best things about retreat!!!

Our speaker, Sharon Beeman, did a wonderful job.  She has a lot of personality and funny.  That makes a lot of difference for me.  I am so A.D.D. sometimes.  I start fading out if someone talks to long about something without illustrations, stories or something.  Sharon is a great communicator.   She kept my attention and that is hard to do.

Sherri did a great job leading worship. The songs she chose were perfect.  I know she was worried not everyone would know them or like them. But, it was great.  

I think God really just knew who would be there and orchestrated the event perfectly.  I loved getting to know some of the ladies a little better.  Game night was hilarious.  You really find out who is competitive! ha!  I thought at one point there would be blood shed.  Believe it or not I was actually one of the calm ones that night. 

I could write a book about the weekend, but I will just say it was exactly how God planned it to be.  I had a wonderful time.
