This past weekend was our Beginning Experience weekend. I have always called it a retreat, but it is far from that. As weekend coordinator, the week leading up the weekend is very busy making sure we have all the supplies we need. The weekend itself is very long and tiring (late nights and very early mornings for team). As an overall, there is a lot of walking involved. To top it off, I couldn’t sleep Friday night…only got about 3 hours of sleep! But the benefit far outweighs the challenges. We had the most amazing participants this time, who were very open to the process of this amazing ministry. I have been blessed to be a part of it and to meet so many new friends/family because of it.
I realized on my weekend that I am the happiest and strongest I have ever been, so I have to move on. I will continue to be a part of Beginning Experience as alumni as well as help them with fundraising so people that need the ministry but can’t afford it, can attend a weekend.
I have always believed God has a plan for me, and part of that plan led to me to my Beginning Experience family.
I have spent the last 1 ½ to 2 years working on inner healing. None of us are really ever completely healed, but I am in a wonderful place spiritually and emotionally. Now it is time to work on the physical side (hopefully it will take me far less than 2 years…LOL).
Hugs to all!
