Women's Retreat weekend and Love heals your heart

Hello All,
I just got back from Pine Mountain, Georgia this afternoon, I'm so exhausted! But I had a fabulous weekend with my church family St. Mark United Methodist Church on our annual women's retreat, The title of it this year was "walking his way". Can you believe that I didn't take one single picture? I know what's up with that right? I appologize for that. We stays at Callaway Gardens in the cottages and had our meetings at the Lodge. We all got there by 7pm on Friday night and stayed through 12 today, although I helped pack up some of the equipment and take stuff to the car. I hated to see it end. Last night was the best! Anyone who felt led went up and gave a testimony about something that's happened this past year in your life. I so didn't want to at all, because I was scared to death, but I did get up there and speak from my heart. I came to St. Mark so hurt and I didn't feel like I could trust anyone and that everyone was going to hurt me, reject me and betray me, especially women and Church people. However the people at St. Mark have really changed my "stinkin thinkin" The People at St. Mark have been wonderful, I know no one on earth is perfect except God, and I give God all the glory, because it's only because of him that I'm blessed with a wonderful church family and such fabulous people in my life like Pam, Aimee, Gayle, Vivian, Sandy and so many others that I could never name everyone. These people have touched my heart so much and them loving me has helped heal my heart, and I now know that not everyone is going to hurt me, not everyone will betray my confidence or stabb me in the back. There are truly great Christian people at St. Mark United Methodist that genuinely love each other unconditionally and are there for each other. These are the people that have changed the way I see people, myself and Christians. Love heals your heart. Read these lyrics"Love Heals Your Heart"When you think your life is shattered And there's no way to be fixed again Love heals your heart At a time you least expected You're alive like you have never been Love heals your heart . It's amazing that this is MY LIFE! I have people in my life that genuinely love me, that I can share my heart with, without worrying if there going to stabb me in the back or betray me. It's amazing. Thank You God for all the fabulous people in my life and for sending me to St. Mark! This has become God's biggest blessing. I never imagined this time last year that I would be at St. Mark, let alone a women's retreat or have such awesome people in my life. God is so good!

What a week!

Have you ever had a week where nothing seemed to go right? I would call it the worst week ever, but it definately wasn't the best. It all started on Sunday night after Bible Study that I'm doing with my Aunt Linda at her Church, It's Beth Moore's study " When Godly people do ungodly things". After Bible Study I was on my way to a friends house for supper when the Police pulled me over for speeding, I was going 49 in a 25 residential zone, I am bad I admit it, but God was so gracious and I didn't get a ticket. My room has been a total disaster because we found termites while replacing our windows and so now we had to take down the sheetrock and replace all the studs. My best friend hasn't been feeling well this week and so I've been concerned about her, and Thursday I got my first Mammogram, and if I never have one of those again it will be too soon! Then tonight I try to get on my online class and something is wrong with Columbus tech's online school!Here is some pictures of the none existent wall in my room, hopefully I get some soon! LOL Geez. I feel like I just should have stayed in bed this week. Inspite of it all, I can say God is surely faithful to me, and he's really watching out for me this week and all the time. I am going the speed limit now just so you know. I hope everyone has a great relaxing worry free weekend!
