I know you’ve been waiting for a detailed update on the ladies retreat! Forgive me for my lateness – Mark and I are actually in Fort Myers, FL this week reconnecting with old friends and giving updates to our supporting churches down here.
For me, the best part of the ladies retreat was sharing the weekend with so many HFH moms that I have grown to love. We shared meals together, prayed together (the second night we prayed till 3am!) and laughed and shared stories. I have heard from several of the women that walls were broken down and healing was started or continued in many hearts. Probably the best way to recount the weekend is in the words of a few of the moms that were there.
…I was so grateful for the opportunity to share with Habitat for Hope, Fellowship Memphis & other moms last weekend. I left the revival feeling refreshed and revived from sharing, praying and worshipping with my sisters in Christ. I also gained a new prayer partner for the two by two ministries for the praying for Memphis!
…you had to be there in order to explain it. I just want to say that the holy spirit rain in that place and I was able to be myself in the presence of the lord and be honest with myself and the lord and knowing that you are not alone regardless of what you are going through you still have friends like Jesus and mrs. melissa and all the other women that were on the retreat with us.I just want to thank god for all of my new friends, thank you all so much.
…thanks again for an incredible weekend, I came home refreshed and exhausted. It was so wonderful to meet some amazing women and get to know the ones I already knew a little better. I hope everyone is doing well, and is enjoying the season that they are in now a little better now that we were taught by Priscilla to enjoy the season. I kept counting down the rounds of chemo my son has left, thinking I just can’t wait for it to be done. But now I am trying to appreciate what we are going through now and when the next season comes I will be thrilled, but I won’t have regrets that I didn’t enjoy what I am going through now. It was great to be with women that understands what I am going through as a mother, wife, Christian, and friend. I found that many of us just don’t have the support at home from people that truly understand.
My sincere thanks to all of you that were a part of making this weekend happen – our donors for making it possible, Tona Ottinger, Missy Taylor and Heather McGugan for their help, and of course my sweet husband for giving me the time I needed to work on this and praying over me the whole way.
