ramblings about women retreat.

This weekend we had a women’s retreat at my church. I was only able to stay until Sunday night after service. I ended up doing a lot of preparing the slides for the worship service. I used a program I have never used to before. I ended up telling on of our leaders that Powerpoint would be a lot easier to use and less tedious. The program need me to do many steps which was not always easy to do. I never figured our how to add a slide to the front of the the first slide. In Powerpoint I would have been able to do this easily. I think We did good on getting the songs on the presentation. I am glad I went and was able to bless the women by being able to be the Techie person. I wish I would have known I was needed, because I would have told my new company I am really needed their to help with preparation for service. I know the other lady could do it easily but she was so busy this weekend, and having me help her, give her one less thing to do.

The building was great, they had rooms on the top and bottom floor. It wasn’t like a hotel in Vegas. The rooms had top bunk beds. I have a bruise on my hip from the bunk. I tried getting up wrong. One thing I really enjoyed outside of helping with the presentation was helping one of the ladies fry the Falafel balls. They were good. We had plenty of food for all of our meals, I know I was full and never wanted any snacks to eat. I also had good room mates too. I had a great experience there.

Lets see what did I do that wasn’t work.. I went for a walk with a couple of women and shared with one of them something I have been struggling with, and some of the things which had been said to me in the past in other churches. I had found my self sinking into a shell of being shier then what is normal for me. When I get around a lot of people I don’t know I have a hard time in larger groups. I do well in small groups and this was a larger group. I normally would try to find a few people I knew.
On Sunday morning I woke up for Prayer at 650 or so, I decided not to stay in my room incase one of the ladies woke up, so i could just have time with the L-rd before the day starts. Normally I do my time with Him before bed, but at night you really don’t get that time at a woman retreat. I was seating by the fire, and meditating on somethings, and praying. Someone came over, I didn’t want to tell her, I came here to be alone with G-d. I felt it would be hurtful. I decided I would talk and share with her. We shared and we have something in common… We where talking and sharing and after a while someone was looking for me to get the am service presentation started. No problem, I went and helped with that, went back to the place I was to see if she was still there. I felt bad for her, because she was more shier then I am.
I went down for breakfast, and then came up for service. We played this game ” as the wind Blows” that a interesting game. It funny to, I still am worried about that lady I stepped on I really hope she okay.

I also tried dancing, You know I really don’t have left and right and *laughing* and looking at the people on the other side of the circle just help me be really wrong. I enjoyed it, I caught on when I saw it from the back.
