Re: Women's Retreat 2012
I am always astounded, (and proly should no longer be, this late in the game,) at how our Father gathers His own together to fellowship from "the four corners."
We had people who originally hailed from the UK and Taiwan, wore everything from braids to the latest trend in fashion, figure skate and help harvest plants in order to produce essential oils, have a gaggle of kiddos, grandkiddos and greatgrandkiddos, or just one child. I so love God's unscripted diversity that is never legislated.
And oh, the stories that spring from such courageous journeys...
I was deeply fed and cared for, and as always, thankful to be a part of this crew. Julie, Kelly, blessings upon you for your exquisite, prayer bathed care taken to nourish us in every regard.
One woman, who was a first timer, said something to her husband about the tenor of the retreat that humbled, challenged and edified me. It was simply this: "These women want God's will in their lives, period."
Amen, even so Lord Jesus, come and save us to the uttermost.
