...that while hearts are ripped open
and foundations crumble
and families grieve
and hope slips away...
...that I slip away, too
without camera
or phone
or computer.
Without dirty clothes to wash, dinner to cook, cats to feed, or floors to sweep.
For seventy-two hours...
To serve and be served
To listen and love
To pour out and fill up
...and I don't take this slipping-away gift lightly.
For when much is given, much will be required.

Everyone could use a retreat once in a while....God bless you in your time with Him.
LIFE isn't fair - Jesus never said it would be - we all have trials, and they're equally important to Him. I'm praying you are refreshed and encouraged by your time away, sweetheart!
Pat....it is a good thing to slip away fro 72 hours. It is a good thing to get away from the phone, computer and all other distractions. Too many things get in our way in this life. I trust your getting away...has been a great blessing. I am anxious to hear the good reports.
Decolores, Pam! =)
Thank you, ladies - all of you.
It was a powerful, exhilarating, emotional, overwhelming, Jesus-filled, Spirit-empowered, hemmed-in-prayer, exhausting 72 hours that will require another 72 hours in which to recover.
Much love to you all!
