Women's Retreat

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!!

It's here! The New Year is here!

Well we have finally arrived at the New Year and with it brings a lot of hopes and expectations that this year will NOT be like last year. Jason is doing well and he is even starting to help out with the house again! YES!! Slowly the pressures are being taken off and I can see an end to this. I am thrilled to be going on a women's retreat with my church on the 17th and 18th. I hope that it will help me reconnect with my family and strengthen my Faith. It has been rocky lately and I am confident that this is the boost I need to really make this year everything it should.

I did sign up for LA Boxing, now I just need to make it in there! I am hoping to get things together next week so I can start working out at least 3 times a week. It really looks like a blast and it is so close! I could walk there on a nice day. But I don't want to push it! ;)

Until next time...
