Retreat and Friends

Well, the retreat was wonderful. Below is a picture of all of us cabin-mates, except, somehow we did now get Tawny in the pic, so I added the one of her and I below it, and somehow I never got a picture of Jackie, but she was there in our room too. It was such a joy seeing old friends again....And making AMAZING new friends...Getting to know the newer old friends even better...
We had a blast. It is SO amazing to be in the presence of the Lord. There was good food, good fellowship, GREAT quiet time, wonderful testimonies...great weather. I don't think I could have asked for a better time, personally. I really felt like the Lord "confirmed" some things to me, and reminded me of some things I have allowed myself to forget....and I am so thankful to have made friends that I really do love quite deeply. I had to fight back the tears when I pulled away from the van full of most of them. To me, such a deep connection was made, I thank God He allows those connections in our lives. There really is not much more to say about the retreat....HE was there, HE was healing, HE was confirming, HE forged new and deeper friendships, what more could we have asked for?
Have a wonderfully blessed day!!

Andresa, thanks for posting the pictures. We all did make some precious memories that I know I will draw from for a long, long while. It's almost still too sacred for me to talk about, if you know what I mean! I hated seeing you drive away too...you should have been going WITH us.
