Back from the retreat, have had a nap, and am now contemplating beginning to unpack the car. What better time to cruise the internet instead, right?
The retreat went well ... it is hard to really ever know if a retreat goes well, as anyone knows who has participated in presenting one. The only ones who can really say are the participants because they are doing the really heavy lifting within themselves. However, every couple seemed happy and glowing by the end and I think we'd all agree that is a good sign.
As for myself, aside from the pure enjoyment of working with the wonderful couples who are part of the Core Team, it was a basic reminder that God is really in charge. There was at least one glitch that arose which was frustrating to some and then later it became clear resulted in a far superior moment of connection with God than would have happened otherwise. The Holy Spirit was swinging through tweaking a bit for everyone. Note to self: we are the instruments, God is the master planner.
Thanks so much to everyone who thought to lift a prayer or two for the retreat. I am positive that they made a huge difference.
UPDATE
A Beyond Cana review from one of my favorite bloggers, Wheelbarrow Manor. It's all about marriage enrichment and it sounds as if they got it in spades this weekend ... which makes me so very happy because that's what Tom and I like about it so much in our own marriage.
