An Emotional Filled Weekend

My Lord,

Thank you.

You know all that this weekend held and how profound it was.

There is too much to write today and too many emotions to try to capture as it was a heavy weekend.

Thank you that you gave me the opportunity to fellowship with The Church By The Chesapeake. 

Thank you that you planned it long ago.

Thank you that you placed it on Missy's heart to invite me twice :-)

Thank you for the beautiful retreat house.  It was filled with your Spirit!

Thank you for the location:  I'd never been to Rohobeth Beach.

Thank you that Ann drove, there and back!

Thank you for the special time that you gifted us with collectively and individually.

Thank you for over 45 new sisters who love, adore and worship you.

Thank you for the dinner and funnel cake that I shared with Patti as well as the walk along the boardwalk.

Thank you for the pennies and the reminder to continue trusting in you.

Thank you that I got to meet Maureen's beautiful sister and neice.

Thank you that Tracey was so very approachable, wise and fun.

Thank you for the Holy Spirit encounter with Lynn.  UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tears and tears and more tears...............

Thank you for the deep affection and profound words from Jackie.  Oh what LOVE!

Thank you for the walk along the seashore....just you and I.  Yes, the beach was filled with lots of people and the waves were stronger and louder due to the time of year, but I still heard your voice and yes, I heard what you whispered in my ear.  I LOVE YOU and I love how you love and care for my heart.

Thank you for allowing me to meet with Kathleen and that she chose to open up and share with me the things that were on her sweet heart.  You knew that she needed someone to talk to and you used me.  #GRATEFUL. It was so cool that she lives in Nanjemoy and that she's a retired school teacher.

Thank you that I get to pray for her husband.

Thank you for the brief encounter with James and Angela.  A couple from Mitchellville, Maryland just out for a day on the beach.  They're Christians.....yay!

Thank you for allowing Missy to rest and soak up the sun and your Son.

Thank you for the food, fun and fellowship from Friday morning until Sunday afternoon.

Thank you for the hearts that you pricked as we walked up and down the boardwalk seeking to pray for others.  Although no one approached us, they saw your light.  I pray that it made a difference in a world of darkness if only for the weekend.

Thank you for the walk and talk with Amy.  She loves you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for the provisions provided by the All Saint's Church and its members.

Thank you for being My GOD!

And Father, thank you for being Lesley's God.

I lift her up to your loving hands and I know that You are the giver of good gifts.  I'm putting all of my hope and trust in you to meet her every need.  You know and you have always known.

Prayers for Janet, Lori, Maureen's mom, Marlena's mom, Alicia and her mom, Susie and her mom, Marty, Christy, my cousin Lynda and all the members in my family.

Eternally yours

PS tons of pictures forthcoming.... :-)
