More than a beach trip

Saturday evening, just a few minutes before five, I stood on the beach with some very dear women looking at this...



Isn't it beautiful? This past weekend I had the real treat of getting to spend a weekend at the beach with some women from my Bible Study. We had the best time. We shared together all weekend. As in shared Bible Study, small group time, prayer, personal stories, delicious food, a few tears, and lots and lots and lots of laughter. I have not laughed so hard in a long time! And we played games...I LOVE board games and am just a wee bit competitive. In fact, I called Steve to tell my family goodnight and mentioned that we were about to break open the games. He said, "Do they know you are over-the-top when it comes to games?" "They are about to find out," I replied. However I am pretty sure I met my match in the competition department. Who knew Whoonu? could be so fun? (Or that you could squeeze in 3 to 5 stories between each round of Apples to Apples?)

The weather was gorgeous, the house was amazing, but best of all, God met us there. I love these women, and He is teaching me so many things through them. It was truly a weekend of wonderful fellowship...and sometimes that's just what we need.
