Ah, I had a much needed mommy break this weekend...I traveled to St. Louis to speak at Kirk of the Hills Presbyterian Church. I got to share with a wonderful group of ladies on Friday night and much of Saturday. I was WORE OUT afterward, but it was worth it, for them (I think) and for me (I know).
I missed Troy within the first hour that I was gone. It took me another 23 hours, but I did finally miss the kids too! ha! I think that it was just nice to walk around without children needing me, hanging on me, wiping snot on me, etc... Troy is such a trooper to keep them all weekend so that I could have this opportunity!!
It was fun to reconnect with dear April Barber, one of my Berry College friends, and Becky Kicklighter, a friend from way back in high school (thank y'all for getting me this gig!)
I spoke on "Your Story"...meaning... knowing, loving, embracing, and sharing the story of your life. It was about seeing the Lord in the events of your life...what He was up to, even in the hard stuff. We laughed, we cried, we talked a lot...a true women's retreat!
