After coming home from the women's retreat this weekend I feel like I have alot to share. I'm not sure where to start, but I will just give you some quick insight into the weekend.
I had a great time with friends. My roommates Leslie, Karen, and Abby made me laugh nonstop. They were great to bunk with. One night Leslie and I went into JULIE and Sharon's room for a game night. (julie I have now used your name twice on my post and one of the times I put it in caps).
Here's the deal with the game night. I don't like games. This may surprise many of you, but I am extremely competitive. The girls made me laugh and I was able to make it through the dumb game. Of course I had to state that the game was dumb several times.
The music was so wonderful on the retreat. Lara did a wonderful job allowing the Holy Spirit to flow through her talent. It was so beautiful to hear 60 women praising the Lord.
Abby organized the weekend and not one thing was left out. It was perfect!!!!!!
I have to tell you my friend Karen did a great job with the hospitality. I loved all the treats we got in our rooms each day.
The highlight of my weekend was definitely the insight that I had when I got home. My husband was actually the one who really helped me realize what I got out of the weekend. The last day we were there the speaker asked us what our dreams are. She asked us if we are living our dream. She said everyone has one and everyone needs to be driving towards it.
When I got home I told Ryan I don't really have a dream. I feel like my dream is the life I am living. Ryan said, " that is your dream." You are living your dream. All I ever wanted to do was be a mom. I wanted to be a wife and a mom. Coming from a broken home I wanted to have a stable family who served the Lord. I wanted to be a mom who shared the Lord with her kids. Thank you Lord for this dream. Thank you for letting me live my dream!!!!!
I am sure there will be many more dreams in my life, but for now this dream is real and I am able to live it out.

God has blessed you abundantly. I'm blessed knowing you.
I'm living my dream too! Lord bless you!
It was such a fun time this past weekend. I am excited to see the fruits throughout the church.
And for the record, I am NOT the losing link on Catch Phrase or any other game.
Don't you love it! It was my dream too. One awesome loving husband...4 kids...a home...everything we need in life.
I have it all. Thanks for the reminder...this is my dream, embrasse (sp) it with your whole heart!
Love you dear friend!!!!
When I see children at Zachary's school, I thank God for women like you who are living their dreams this way. Don't you think kids have it so hard these days, feeling as if no one is there for them?
Your husband and children are so blessed! And you are happy in the process, how great is that!
This was always my dream too and I remind myself that on the days when I am tired of laundry, dishes, playing games, etc. etc. It gives me renewed strength to face daily routines. You are such a special gift, to all of us!
