PW Retreat 2009

What an amazing weekend! First of all I turned 40, which I was less than thrilled about:) However, as you can see below my friends made it "special." They really are awesome! I love pastor's wives retreat for many reasons. I love getting to see friends. We are all there to have fun, laugh, maybe cry, but definitely soak in more of God. We can be mentored or we can be the mentorer. Either way, this retreat is a gift from God to ladies that give all year!

I hate getting older!

Very soon, I will be turning another year older. People tell me all the time I don't look it. I am grateful that I still look young; so why is this so hard? I so do not want to get older. I was always like, I am the baby of the family, and the youngest on staff. I was good at it and I liked it. I lost that a long time ago. (well not the youngest in the family thing:) It bothered me and I was only 31 when it happened. Now, 40! Yuck! I wonder, does it change anything? Should it? I have had all the aches and pains of being older for years. I can't stop it, so what do I do? I guess, I realize I have a great family, awesome friends and fantastic future. Thanks God!
