how great is our God

I went on my church's women's retreat this weekend. It was completely amazing. I didn't go there with any expectations. I just knew I wanted to spend the weekend in fellowship with some wonderful women. There had been something pressing on my mind and I prayed about it, but I didn't expect God to move in the way he did about it, probably because I didn't realize what I needed from him in the situation. Thankfully He did know what I needed. It's a long story, thus the vagueness, if you would like to hear it, call me and I'll probably tell you.

In other delightful news, they always do a raffle at the retreat. Women put together these amazing baskets to be raffled and the money goes to support our missions efforts in Jamaica. I actually won a basket, it was a cooking themed one & it came with serving platters & a cookbook & a giftcard to my favorite grocery store. Hazaa! The funny thing is that even though winning it was very exciting, whenever people at church tonight asked me about the retreat the basket didn't even remotely come to mind. I was just so stoked about the clarity God had given me this weekend that I only wanted to share about that. God is so amazing!
