All Souls Women's Retreat

Let me just say, first of all, that the women of All Souls in Boulder are amazing wonderful people.

So to back up, Tim and I started attending this church with my sis in law Sarah was visiting (she's the one who found out about it!) and since then, we have been attending Sunday service and a Tuesday night Community Group with some really fun, welcoming people! One day at church, they announced that there was going to be a Women's Retreat at the end of February. It sounded like fun, but I am not very bold so I wasn't sure I would go. Then I got the email inviting me...and then I got another email from Cassy (a girl in our community group) telling me I should come...and then I got another email from Sarah saying I should go. So, I talked to Tim about it and we decided that I should go. Fast forward to the week before the retreat, I was a nervous wreck. I kept waffleing back and forth about my decision to go, and I almost backed out. Luckily, Tim wouldn't let me.

This past Friday, I met at the church to drive up with a few women I didn't know, and one that I did. I felt instantly welcomed and at ease, and we had quite an adventure getting up to Pinecliffe,CO - driving in the dark on windy roads, missing our turn, finding our way again, and then getting TWO cars stuck on the hill up to the house! The rest of the weekend consisted of amazing food prepared by an awesome girl named Leah, teachings from a very wise lady named Tammy,  walks outside and lots of fellowship and time to meet new friends. I am so blessed to have spent a weekend with these women, and I can't wait to hang out with them all again!

It was a weekend of answered prayers, and I am glad that I went! We truly have been fortunate to find such a wonderful community of Christians :)

I'll post some pictures if I get them!
