I came back from the Women's Retreat so refreshed and tired - but in a good way! We were on the Friend"ship" and talked about the reason that women need friends in their lives. What a powerful message. For those who have not gone on one of these retreats, you need to go. It changes everything.
During breakfast this morning we were talking about what people give up for lent. One woman stated that her pastor had told them this - don't give up anything you like for Lent - that is not what the season is for - Give up sometheing that God hates! What an impact that made as I had made the pledge to give up soda. I don't think that is what I want to do anymore! I think it is something I have to consider a little longer. Yes I know lent has started, but I don't think that God will care. But I will say that over the entire weekend I only had 1/4 bottle of soda. For me that is phenominal. I usually have 1 a day!
It is nice to be back home, but I miss the quiet peacefulness of Elkhart Lake and the Ostoff Resort. And of course the chatter of Women as we were able to get together and talk. And I am not sure how I will be able to go to bed before 12:30 tonight. My roomies and I had way to much fun talking!
That's all for now! Hope to see you all soon.

Aww! I am sorry I missed it, but I had a good reason to miss it. I didn't go to bed until about 2:30. That is when my legs and feet finally stopped aching and the sensation of having the dress on went away. I will explain more in my blog.
