I was also very excited this year because Denise Hildreth was going to be there. She is one of my favorite authors www.denisehildreth.com . She spoke to our book club in October of 2007 right after my dad died and so much of what she said resonated within my heart. When I heard that she would be there I knew that I had to be too.
I was not disappointed by the weekend. The messages that were given were without a doubt straight from God's mouth to our ears. It was such a sweet time as we each heard a message that was no doubt meant for us. As I looked around and watched hearts being touched I was reminded of just how amazing my God is. I know that I wouldn't do it justice if I tried to recap the messages but I will say that it was a weekend that won't soon be forgotten.

On the less serious side of the weekend....... We shopped until we dropped Friday at the Dawsonville outlets before the retreat, we laughed as we slogged through the mud and the rain to the chapel, the dining hall, our cabin and the trading post. Friday night we enjoyed a parade of old prom and bridesmaid dresses and a slide show of people in their finery (my picture below) and watched "27 Dresses." Saturday night we enjoyed trivia and Karaoke and let me tell you, lest you think Christian women are boring check out the video below.
