It was worth sharing this post even if it was just for you!<br /><br />If you can get your hands on a copy of Mardi's book, I know it will be a blessing for you. Amazon or Thriftbooks should have it. It has definitely been a life changing book for me.<br /><br />Glad you enjoyed the quotes and points that I shared. They really hit home with me.<br /><br />So true that when we take time to dig into the Word and be in prayer, life goes so much better. <br /><br />Have a blessed day!Mrs.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392321745556290343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15265988.post-82133265153478580182019-10-09T12:18:51.906-04:002019-10-09T12:18:51.906-04:00You are welcome, Linda!

I have purchased many of them to share with other people over the years. I am sure you would be blessed by this book if you can find a copy.Mrs.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392321745556290343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15265988.post-37204498432847733902019-10-09T12:16:52.464-04:002019-10-09T12:16:52.464-04:00We did have a truly wonderful time and learned so ...We did have a truly wonderful time and learned so much! For me that one point about the valley of the shadow -- and how "shadow" implies that light has to be shining from somewhere -- was worth the entire retreat. We know where the Light is shining from! <br /><br />Days to recover from a women's retreat -- I can really see how that is possible! Hopefully your pastor's wife was greatly encouraged by the fellowship and messages so it was worth the exhaustion factor.<br /><br />I know -- the older I get, the more lack of sleep bothers me. We did not set an alarm clock the entire time up north!<br /><br />Your leaf line is wonderful and I hope you didn't mind me using it. I wanted something small yet colorful to break up all of the information in this post!Mrs.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392321745556290343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15265988.post-16855908904566632412019-10-09T12:11:40.185-04:002019-10-09T12:11:40.185-04:00It was!

Up north we were literally on the Vermont border (and very close to the Canadian border) and actually ventured into Vermont briefly. <br /><br />Yes, the Wilds of New England is so beautiful. I hope that you get to visit there one day!<br /><br />It was a very fun weekend. Hiking to the bathrooms wasn't too bad, but hiking back up to the cabin was. Between all the walking/hiking and then sitting still for a long time during the sessions, I was feeling pretty stiff by the time I returned home!Mrs.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392321745556290343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15265988.post-32480627420653140252019-10-08T18:50:00.024-04:002019-10-08T18:50:00.024-04:00Thank you for sharing the speaker's main point...Thank you for sharing the speaker's main points.

The lack of sleep would worry me. My pastor's wife said that it took her days to recover from the last women's retreat on the coast. Ha! Oh well. As you say, what does one expect? <br /><br />I thought those leaves looked vaguely familiar. I did not miss my calling to go into gif art.

My aunt and some friends are in Vermont today and she is sending me the most beautiful pictures.

I have wished to not run the air conditioner:) It was another reminder of which I have had a few this past week to stop WHINING!<br />I loved the notes from Mardi Collier. I am not familiar with her. That those who aren't trusting won't see the good coming. That really struck me too. How sad is that, but I am mulling that one over and I agree. They are walking around in a fog. I also liked that a shadow implies light. So true. I also know that when I feed myself daily the Word of God and talk to Him that I handle life so much better. He always feeds my soul when I stop and dig in.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10185422453541735778noreply@blogger.com
