Free To Be Me Bloggers Retreat Scholarship Contest!

So say I to this challenge
Many a dear friend has been made here in blog land. Have you ever wanted to spend some time with them. Well this might just be your chance. October 23-24, 2009 there will be held a gathering of like minded Ladies that are taking a break from every day and taking the time to "come away".
Needing a time to be refreshed and gather with those who walk in peace, speak of the things that they have heard and witnessed in Him...This will refresh the soul of the most wherry a woman.
This is my heart to be refreshed. Fellowship is a sweet thing to look into the eye of those whose words we share as we share our own. The keypads we type upon limited from the gaze of the eye to eye that removes us from words and brings us just to a place of being together.

In hopes of defraying the cost of the trip, it is my desire that just perhaps that grace might come my way to make this long trip to Florida from Arizona.

I will be praying for the outcome my dear Donetta. The judges will be coming around in just a few days!

The closest airport is within an hour away. It is our hope we can synchronize rides, several teaming together to rent a car. Also, we have had a couple of gals offer to come by the airport on their way to the retreat. Transport from the airport to the retreat will be worked out when we get a little closer to the date.

Thanks for the repost, Donetta! There will not another extension. The winner was always going to be posted next Monday, but if the 3 judges have a clear cut first choice I will post before the weekend.

Blessings.

Older women likewise teach the younger women...

• how to love their husbands
• how to love their children
• how to be self-controlled
• how to be pure
• how to be keepers at home
• how to be kind and submissive (not subservient) to their own husbands. (See Titus 2:3-5)

By Maya Angelou

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Words have power. Here are a few of my favorite sayings.

  • A warm cup of tea is like a cuddle with a friend.
  • The North American Indians have a more eloquent word for ‘friend’ than we do in English. In their language, the word for friend literally means, “the one who carries my sorrows on his back.”
  • Return with Honor
  • The sage anticipates things that are difficult while they are easy, and does things that would become great while they are small. All difficult things in the world are sure to arise from a previous state in which they were easy, and all great things from one in which they were small. Therefore the sage, while he never does what is great, is able on that account to accomplish the greatest things."
  • "HOME IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS"
  • “Live so that when your children hear these words they think of you… Fairness Caring Integrity Honesty Love Trust.”
  • "O Lord help my words to be gracious and tender today, for tomarrow I may have to eat them."
  • "No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes"

Zephaniah 3:17 NLT
"For the LORD your God has arrived to live among you. He is a mighty savior. He will rejoice over you with great gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will exult over you by singing a happy song."
