Well this might sound a little strange but I am going on a retreat....I don't often consider this type of outing. I am not the person who likes to be out of contact with my children or my family. I have not been on one since I was a teenager.
I will be picked up by my sponser on Thurs. evening, the 19th of April and taken to Lake Lavon. Unless there is an emergancy I will be out of contact from the world until Sunday evening. The weekend includes 15 classes, a lot of prayer and daily communion. I have to admit I am a little nervous. One of the parts of the weekend is when we read letters given to our pastor from our friends and family. Part of me feels like the last person to get picked for kickball. I worry that no one would want to take the time to write me a letter.
Self doubt is a scary thing. The other night a lady told me I was pretty and I thought she was making fun of me. My first reaction was of self loathing. That is something I hope to work on this weekend. I hate being fat. I am working my butt off watching every bite I eat and play raquetball at least twice a week. I know I need more exercise but I am so tired. Being anemic doesn't help but I know it is not an excuse.
If any of my loved ones would like to email me a letter for my retreat - you can send a note to my pastor. I just went to check my pastors email address and found out that .......
Brandon got the call last night but.....
Brandon's liver call was a false alarm. How stressful this is going to be for his family. Please pray for them.
