Yesterday, Anna went home from school with her good friend and carpool buddy, Claire. Noah was dropped off to spend a couple hours at work with Josh. And I beelined it to my friend Suzanne's house to hitch a ride with her to our Brentwood destination - an overnight retreat with a big group of women from our church. I had my usual anxiety before going and almost didn't make myself see it through. But I knew better than to give in to that self-indulgent fear and I, as always, am so glad I went! It was another great investment in the community of friendships I am plugging into there...
... and I was really interested in and challenged by the discussion topics covered in this book, of which we all got a copy and participated in several break out sessions together.
Looking forward to practicing some of the "heart AND mind" bible study approaches we uncovered. Looking forward to what the Lord will show me about Himself more fully as I do!
what fun! I am gonna admit, I am a leeeettle jealous of the community of women you always seem to be a part of. Wish I was a part of one like that here. But no, we go on a trip to Nashville, only to come home and never speak again (not because we're not friends, but we certainly are not even remotely close either).
ReplyDeletePraying we find a community of like minded believers over the next year.
Praying for that for you, too!
