I will be 35 weeks pregnant in just a couple of days and I am getting ready to embark on a spiritual women's retreat. It will most likely be the last time I will have some "me" time for a while so I am very excited. I'm also stressing leaving my daughter since it is the first time I have ever left her for more than a few hours! But i know she is in good hands with her dad and grandma.
These coming days are for me. For the opportunity to completely surrender to God and make a conscious, not rushed effort to listen to what He wants to share with me. My mom flew in to help me care for my daughter and my husband has made all kinds of schedule and life adjustments to gift this time to me just as he did a few months ago.
I am looking forward to being able to come back home renewed and inspired and to be able to share my experiences with him. The retreat is sacred and as of this moment, my husband has been unable to really get into what he experienced because I hadn't gone myself.
So this morning, I pray that I can get out of my own way and allow God to first clear out anything that is not of Him and second to fill me with newfound wisdom and more joy and peace that I have ever experienced before. I want nothing less than full transformation from this weekend. I want to walk out of there a better wife, mother, sister, friend and disciple.
Here is to GROWTH!
