Tomorrow I head to our church’s women’s retreat.  I am not normally a retreat person with scheduled talks and meal times and such.  Much of it goes against my natural grain.  Going to hang out with 200 other women would not be my first choice of things to do on a weekend.  But I’m hoping that it lives up to its name – Retreat.  A time to relax and revive and connect with some girls one on one.  To leave the everyday world behind for a little while and escape to a beautiful wonderland of pine trees and lodges and cool air.  To laugh or cry or just be for a couple days with no other responsibilities.  Mmmmm.  Sounds really good.

Honestly, I don’t feel like I have much to offer this weekend.  I feel tired – physically and emotionally. But sometimes that is exactly where God wants me.  Fully at the end of myself.  I’m right there, God.  If you can use this tired soul this weekend, please do.  I am exhausted, but available.  Do your thing that you do so well, Jesus…my weakness, your strength…
