Our church family is growing......and growing in the Lord. This weekend, Friday & Saturday, a group from our church went to Walnut Creek for a leadership meeting. We stayed over night at the Carlisle Inn. Each room had a name. My room was called "All Blessings Flow."
Not everyone started out around 8 a.m. Friday morning, just a handful. We stopped for breakfast at Keim Lumber. Yes, they have a small little restaurant in the store.
From there, those who drove, went their separate ways. I decided to go with Brice & Donna. Donna wanted to go to the flee market. It was your typical stuff......I did find a couple baking pans I really liked & they were cheap. Couldn't pass them up.
I wanted to take a picture of my room before it got messy, but my camera was with Brice & Donna. Believe me, it was a very nice room. These photos were the view from my room.
I loved it because you didn't have that heater on the wall creating noise from the fan running all night long. I don't know how their heating/ac system works, but it was great! And quiet!!!Once our first session was over, we were able to go to an area where they serve breakfast. There was conversation, card playing, board games, and fun.
Here is Donna after she threw the wrong card.
And can you believe these two..........Cathy & Jenara. This is how they act when they get tired.
Praise God for tiredness.
As we left the restaurant to head home today, you would have thought we had not talked to nor seen anyone during the past day & a half.........It was an enjoyable learning time together..........Now to look inside ourselves for the leading of the Holy Spirit to help encourage and motivate others to find their purpose in life........To hear for themselves what God is calling them to do.
Is the Lord pleased with your relationship with Him and with the relationship you have with others?...........Are your actions speaking that you have joy, peace, love for others? Or is it depression, anger, unforgiveness? ...........Taking ourselves out of the equation, putting God first and then others. How do you believe that would change your life? ..........Do we really listen to others or are we so wrapped up in "ourselves" to even notice what they are saying? ................When you're comfortable, you're not moving forward. God wants us to move forward. Move forward in Him.Get out of your comfort zone!

What a blessed weekend! I am going to the Women of Faith Conference next weekend with some friends from church.
It reminds me of a big Pep Rally for God! I missed last year's conferences with all the cancer stuff...this year I am a walking miracle! Praise God!
I always return so refreshed and renewed in my Walk...empowered for Christ!
Have a wonderful weekend..
