jumbled mind

I have just returned from a weekend retreat with a few ladies from my church.  It was an women's ONLY retreat.  This weekend, the main theme was empowering women.  Sometimes in our lives today its hard to think that there are STILL places where women are treated like dirt, and maybe worse.  I turned off my phone, I let go of my busy, crazy life, and just l i s t e n e d.  I love going to Bethany Hills.  Everytime I go, I am filled with spirit.  God is everywhere there and it becomes so easy to hear Him.  Maybe I should go to Bethany Hills every weekend to get a little encouragement.  Hmmm....

I'm still processing all the multitude of things I learned & felt while at retreat.  It was especially nice to have my sister-in-law & best friend, Whitney there with me.  All of the ladies who went from my church made it a really enjoyable trip all together.  It makes it a little easier to process things when you have people you trust to talk with.

On a lighter note, I decided retreat would be a "great" time to start a workout routine.  So I asked Whitney... and she literally made me feel like jelly.  Maybe this wasn't the time or she wasn't the person to ask...  I definitely feel the burn, but its a good burn.  It's what I've needed.  I can walk/run all I want but to actually see results, I need to feel the BURN!!  So here we go, getting my body after baby back.  Wow, say that 3 times fast  :)
