A Little Slice Of Heaven
Well, it’s finally here… My getaway/Girls weekend/Woman of Faith Conference! I’m heading out late this afternoon to begin making way to DC. Not my favorite place but what and who I will be surrounded by is worth it. Beautiful, loving women… mother, sister, sister-in-law, friends, cousins and even strangers. We will splurge again this year and sit down to a nice dinner on Friday during a break between the pre-conference and the start of the actual conference. I’m going to enjoy what I want but not over indulge or try to finish everything on my plate just because it’s expensive. Did that last year 
I do tend to get anxious in crowd situations, I get that claustrophobic feeling and fear of getting hurt (when all you see every night on the news is shootings in DC). A little added anxiety, ok a
LOT of added anxiety is that my friend that is going (and I’m soooo happy she is), can’t see well at all. A couple years back she was in a good position at her job, raising her son…then pretty much overnight it changed. She developed little bubbles on one of her eyes and things just spiraled down. She goes to
Hopkins and even with all the knowledge there, they are unsure as to what or why it is. She’s had procedures and surgery. And it has even begun in her other eye. She is the sweetest person and her life has been filled with so much grief, not just this but so much else from childhood to bad marriage, to divorce…so many issues. Anyway, I just ask for prayer that I can get her around safely, especially as we walk to and from the conference, not to mention the arena steps…oh my! I think I put on my Worry-wort hat overnight!
Well, still have a lot of work to do before leaving. Hope you all have a SUPER weekend!!

Luv ya! sista!
That is GREAT for you! You will be so blessed!!!
I pray God speaks to you personally and it will renew your faith, and strength for the journey!
I pray that as you have this special time set apart to seek him…that he will renew your strength as you wait on him.
You will mount up with wings as eagles; you will run, and not be weary; and
you will walk and not faint!
Isaiah 40:27-31
“Why do you say, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel: ‘My way is hidden from the Lord, and my just claim is passed over by my God?’
Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, neither faints nor is weary. There is no searching of His understanding. He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall. But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength: they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.”
Sounds like you will have a wonderful time! My church does Woman Conferences also, and it’s been a tradition for me to attend with my Mother and sister in law each year. How exciting! I know how you feel about large crowds - I always have the same anxiety when it comes to that.
But have a great time, girl and enjoy!
Thanks so much, I am so excited!
