Haha.
That just seems kind of ironic.
The first retreat was for All Things New, an abolitionist organization I work with. I like to think of us as a stop on the Underground Railroad for trafficked women. I am just starting to work with the volunteers for processing/debriefing and I love those heroic women. I'm not real sure how I got this blessed - wait! Yes I am! I'm God's daughter. That's it. Nothing else, I can promise you that.
Anyway, I was one of the planners for this retreat and by Friday morning I was pretty nutso because of my procrastination tendencies. But then I got to the retreat center and it. was. beautiful. And peaceful. And God met us. And now I am very grateful and happy. And peaceful. I will try to embed a video of the organization that hosted the retreat. They also do missionary training there.
Last night, since I wasn't sleepy when I got back to my room, I finished this scarf! I took the picture with my Blackberry, so please excuse the quality.
I love it!
Back to the crazy busy week - This week we are having a dear friend over for lunch Sunday, a party at our house Monday night, then I work all day Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and THEN I leave Friday morning for a week long training that I am SO EXCITED ABOUT! It will be at Our Father's Farm and I'm sure I'll be tired but very blessed when I return late next Friday night.
So, if you feel so inclined, pray for me this week and next. Pray for my family, who I miss a lot. Pray for Charlie, who misses me mucho. And please pray for me to have stamina. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna need it.
