The title and first line are from Rick Warren (or as close to a quote as my tired brain can recall). And it is so true. It's what I minister from at the women's retreats I lead--from my greatest hurts. I share all that God has faithfully brought me through and the lessons I've learned in the process.
My time in Missouri was wonderful. My hostesses all so caring. I love that I can arrive a stranger to everyone at these retreats and leave with a whole lot of new friends.
To make Tammy happy, I remembered to take a photo of my supper on Thursday. Trouble is, I'm writing this on my iPhone at the KCI Airport and don't know for sure how this Blogger app works. So I hope the photo attaches.
The 2nd photo (cross fingers) is the view from the cottage where I stayed. Lovely!
I will try to share something more thought out next week. And if this posts on Sunday instead of Monday, chalk it up to travel brain or more likely the lack of app options.

P.S. I'm feeling better. One bad coughing jag during my testimony but the rest went okay.
Love the pics, Robin, and grateful your time with those dear ladies was such a blessing to all. Praying for your safe travel home. (Gorgeous view!)
ReplyDeleteLoved the sentiment about greatest hurts and greatest ministry. Going through a lot of the "greatest hurts" part right now and looking at how God may use it in the months to come.

So glad your Missouri trip went well, Robin! Thanks for sharing these pics, and glad you're feeling better. I'm sure the ladies you ministered to were blessed by their time with you. ~ And Tracie, continued prayers for you too.

SO glad you're feeling better, Robin! And thank you for sharing the pictures with us. LOVE the view you had!! Get some rest and recoup some :-)
ReplyDeleteTracie, know that you're on our hearts and minds.
Loved your pictures, Robin and the fact that you could do that from your phone amazes me--but I'm the non-tech savvy member of this group. So glad that your conference went well and I'm sure you blessed the socks off those ladies.
ReplyDeleteA note from Rosie--she's sorry she can't post, but since blogger has changed the sign-on "proof" words, she's unable to read them and gain access. To tell you the truth, I'm having trouble with them lately, too. I know they want to know we're not robots, but I may need to have another person on hand to read the letters to me! Had to try twice today.
Thank you for sharing the gorgeous pictures and all. Wishing you uneventful traveling
ReplyDeleteRobin,
ReplyDeleteSo glad you had a good time and you're feeling better. Great looking food, beautiful view, WOW must have been nice! :-)
Hope you got some rest as well.
Tracie, still praying for you.
Love, Veronica
Thanks, everyone. Good to be home. I've been scrambling to catch up today since edits for BETRAYAL will arrive tomorrow or soon after.
