I don't remember
the last time I have turned off my cell phone or not thought of writing
something for longer then an hour. This
past weekend, I worked a three day retreat and did just that. I turned my cell phone off. I could have used the flashlight on it. I could have fixed my fantasy football
team. Instead, I told God to take care
of getting around in the dark church. As
for the football? I lost. I am perfectly content in the lose. I wrote some notes and a sentence or
two. But, really, I left the pages
blank.
So, what did I
do over the weekend? Well, I really
can't reveal the details. Suffice it to
say, I spent time fellowshipping with God and well over forty of my Christian
sisters, all strong and courageous women.
We praying, sang, laughed, cried, hugged, and loved.
I made this
weekend in 2000 but didn't go again until 2009.
Since that year, I have only missed one because I needed a break after
my dad passed away. Anyway, every year,
I come out a better version of myself.
This year was no exception. The
weekend was so very fulfilling. I left
with a feeling of contentment and joy. I
don't think I have had a better weekend.
I thought today
I would be exhausted. I am not. I am full of with joy. Blessings to you all.
