I was blessed enough this weekend to take some time for myself and I went to the Get Real retreat with Southeast Christian Church. It was amazing! We stayed at the Broadmoor hotel in Colorado Springs and it was just beautiful. I had not idea what a wonderful hotel it was. I am definitely going back!
I learned a lot on this retreat. Most of all, I learned that in order to get the most I can from God. I have to let down my guard and give everything to Him. All of my hurt, my pain, my fears, my joy, my happiness. All of it! What a hard thing to do. My first instinct is always to go to my friends first. But this year I am going to work towards talking to God first, then going to my friends.
A friend of mine suggested a prayer journal, what a great idea! It is much easier to remember all of the blessings God has granted when you have your prayers to look back on and see. It may take time, but God does answer prayers. I am just not usually as patient as you should be. LOL... It was a tremendous learning experience for me, I can't wait until the next retreat!!
