We had an amazing time this past weekend at the Georgia Baptist Convention Ministers' Wives retreat. Since I am serving as President this year...the officers (Paula and Amy my BFFs) were busy at work for months planning this retreat! It was A LOT of work, but once the ladies showed up it was AMAZING!!!
There were about 126 women in attendance there the entire weekend and the energy and joy was awesome. We laughed, cried, worshipped and grew together...we are some THRIVING women!
When we came on as officers, the one thing we wanted was By Design for our worship leaders...and it was amazing!! They brought us to the Throne and the tangible presence was overwhelming Friday night. After they led us in worship, we simply just had a concert of prayer together. It was very moving and something I won't forget.
Thursday night we had a game night where we played some group games for everyone to get to know each other a little better. We had so much fun!! Our focus this year was "Across the Table...Across the Street." For the first 2 sessions we talked about ways to grow closer to God and each other...then focused on overflowing to those across the street and across the world.
I could not have even imagined doing any of this without these women! Paula and Amy were not only wonderful partners...but wonderful friends. I love these girls...
(the first night was a pajama game night!)
We had a blast!!! God was so good to us and blessed this weekend in such an amazing way...can't wait until next year. Don't you love the no make up pajama look...comfy and REAL!
