Okay...so maybe I could live without excuses!

So yeah, I know that I haven't written in a while but honestly I've been extremely too busy to fully focus on God and even more too busy to blog about God. And Oh Boy ... that is not good!!! So, this weekend at the ladies retreat has been awesome.
Since the Sunday that my pastor's wife gave me the flier about the ladies retreat, I have been thinking about whether I was going to come. Every time I was asked if i was going to attend the ladies retreat I answered I'm not sure or I thought of an excuse, however I never stopped considering this opportunity to attend. Both Thursday and Friday, I felt like I really needed to go to the retreat. As usual as the thought of needing to go became stronger I thought of more reasons to not go. Guess what...It didn't work. At lunch on Friday I called Michelle with all of my excuses but excuses don't seem to be hidden so well when talking with Michelle. So, I am currently at the ladies retreat in West Lebanon, New Hampshire and it is almost two o'clock in the morning. I am having a blast!!!
Driving here was mostly fun. The only part that was hard was when the big trucks kept passing me. But PLEASE NOTE that I DID NOT get lost!!! I was an hour late but when I arrived I made it just in time to hear most of the message. The first part of the message that Iheard was that we MUST SUBMIT OURSELVES TO AUTHORITY ( God's authority) Later on I heard that we should have enough faith built up that sends a message such as I am woman hear me roar! I really enjoyed the message, took notes and I will be bringing a copy of the message back to share with friends. In addition, I will be putting myself in check by listening to the entire message over again and looking through my bible and Strong's to study specific parts of the message out.
Realizing that I really need to decide if I am going to live for God or the world, I have realized that I have a lot of bible studying to do as well as praying. This is going to take some of my personal time to work things out with God but I'm thinking that I really don't have a choice in the matter. I can either work things out with God or I can deal with the natural consequences of not having a relationship with God. Hummmmmm...hard choice...what to do, what to do...Do I really have to pray and work on putting God first...Is this really going to be hard...being obedient to God and have some self discipline/control... Well, my final answer is ... I guess so. I have been given two choices and only one sounds good.
Well, these are just random thoughts at 2:06 am and I think that I really should be getting to sleep. I am going to try and wake up early tomorrow. I am so excited to have more fellowship with the ladies from different churches. I didn't think that i would know many people at the ladies retreat but so far I have had a great opportunity to visit with people I know. Our conversations have been so exciting! I can't wait until tomorrow. I wonder what the message will be. The excitement is really starting to take off and I am realizing some more how much I really enjoy spending time with other "Church People" at special retreats. Even more... I can't wait for church camp to begin this summer!!! Have a GREAT night and I will see or talk to y'all later!
