I  went to the absolutely best women’s retreat of my life  a few weeks ago!   Logically i should never  have  gone I had way too much that needed to be done. My lists went on and on,  but i felt compelled that  I  should  be  there, and so i went!

I felt a warm welcome from the moment I arrived at the church!  I was amazed because most of these people I did not know at all but they welcomed me as an old friend.

We had been told to dress casually and pack casual clothes for the weekend. We sang songs that lifted me up and gave us joy. We revealed in each others blessings and wept with each other in prayer.

We had servers, from the very beginning we were told not to carry our own bags, get our own water or even a cough drop! If you needed anything or even looked like you did some one was there to get it for you. I felt so cherished and blessed.

Now i am not supposed to tell you any more details because what happens at Encounter stays at Encounter!  So, there ya go, thats all I dare say! Well except for I hope I can go again and serve sometime because it was so uplifting it has changed me. 

Yes, I have bad days, and aches and pains, but we are a support group and we are there for each other and its a blessing to know each other!  Those women are amazing Christians that I am glad i have been privileged  to meet!  They have enriched my life and I will forever be blessed by them!          Thank you BSCC ladies
