Could You take me beyond. Could You carry me through. If I opened my heart. Could I go there with You.
Got all depressed as soon as I got home from the retreat Monday. Booo.
Retreat, or "advanced" because retreat means to run away according to the speaker, was a nice and refreshing time. Dr. Rick Higgins was our speaker and I felt his messages were pretty relevant but his flow was a bit slow for me which made my mind wander off at times. He mentioned "the room of good intentions", where our intentions are in the right place but we rely on our own strengths to get things done, and "the room of grace", where we rely on the grace of Jesus. He also encouraged us to stop trying and start trusting instead. That got me to think of my own standing. More often than not I have good intentions but rely on myself, which makes it kinda selfish. Greg's workshop (and late night talk with my roomie, Erwin) got me to really a list of non-negotiable standards in looking for "the one".
I also miss the fellowship time we had with one another, new friends and old. All the random volleyball games to our activities, to our small groups, to our creepy dance, to our adventure to Wawa for their deliciously fattening Cookies n Cream donut and their amazing prime rib sandwich. Mmmm
And now its back to life...with a new approach of course. =] I hope...
