Retreat

For nearly a year now I have been planning to attend the East Central Conference of the Evangelical Churches Women's Retreat this weekend in Dayton. I'm so excited it is finally here. My sister and I have been communicating about this for quite some time. We knew she would be home from Africa and we were excited to go together. My mom and I have gone together before so she was going to and for the first time my sister-in-law, Tonya would be joining us too.

A lot has happened in the last few months with mom and we were not sure if we would all make it to the retreat or not, but...we are ALL going, including Lucy and Maddie.

I would ask for your prayers. Prayer for a good family time, for a good spiritual retreat, for mom to be able to get some rest that she will need, for sleep for all 6 of us in one hotel room, for just a fun time with the girls! You might also pray for my dad who is home alone (and will preach Sunday), Jay (my brother) who is home with his 2 (and will preach Sunday), Billy and Elsie who are traveling to Tennessee to share about their ministry and Ron who is home with our 3 boys (and will preach Sunday)!

I hope to report good news on Monday. Additionally mom will have her second round of chemo on Monday morning. She did pretty well with this first round. Very tired for days 3-5, but she managed and she feels up to the retreat - Praise the Lord!

Have a great weekend!
