Prayer Retreat Blessing

Recently I went on a women's prayer retreat and it was truly a blessing!  Six women together, embracing vulnerability, quality time with our savior and the beautiful scenery that He made of Hird Island.

We talked a lot about vulnerability and the importance of it in our journeys. Which is so funny because before I even left for this retreat I started reading a book about this very thing. It is called Hiding from Love, by Dr. John Townsend and the two things that it focuses on is why we long to be cared for, but we prevent it. Townsend says that our two main problems in the process is that we're unfinished people and we fear what we need. An interesting thing to process and explore. 

This TED talk about vulnerability is so good, I encourage you to watch it  HERE.

This prayer retreat was prefect timing and I couldn't have more respect now for the ladies that I went and shared the experience with. I am so thankful for each of them and what they brought to the retreat. 

It is a beautiful thing when we steal away and take time to breathe deep, bask in the glory of our Savior, experience sweet moments in His presence and remember how He is good all the time and all the time He is good! And it is also a beautiful thing when we do the journey together!
