Hopewell reformed - hopewellreformed

What a wonderful weekend surrounded by amazing women, and God's beautiful creation!  Thank you, Cathy....for leading us through the process of creating Space for God.  It's Monday morning and I am striving to LIVE into all that we learned.  Thank you!

The sun came up, the weather warmed up, and we could almost forget we'd spent the night in bunk beds! Cathy and Lorraine taught us and played for us as we learned more about making time for God. Ans there was plenty of time for games, walks, and just being together.

I had such a wonderful time at the retreat last weekend. The property was beautiful, we had time to get to know one another better over meals, and the teaching was so rich. We each had our own room, so there was plenty of precious time to be alone with God.

Priscilla, Pam's sister, was such a blessing to us all, with her laundry, rocks, butterflies, and wisdom. She showed us some of the ways God wants to transform us. We may be meant to be moths, or monarchs, or God may be working on us the way the river works on the rocks, but somehow God always has wonderful things in store for us.

And the potter...I wish I had twenty minutes to read you the five pages of notes I took! The connections between the way the potter molds the clay and the way God molds us are amazing, moving and inspiring. We all hope we can get him to return so that everyone we know can see him at his wheel, and hear his teaching.

Everyone was hoping we can do this more often. Now, remind me... who's organizing the next retreat?
