retreat

I spent the last weekend at a women's retreat. As I was reflecting a bit on the weekend tonight, it seemed like a poem fit the way I would describe it.

Friday night at the retreat

Laughter and conversation rings

There's an excitement in the air

Just the beginning of some time away

With girlfriends and with God

Late night, laughter, games

Dance party in the games room

Everyone gets involved

No expectations or judgement

Let's just have some fun

Time in worship and in prayer

God is the reason that we gather here

"God we want to hear from You -

Pleas meet us here?"

We come with expectation

The lives we have at home

The things that fill our hours

Are left behind for hours

So we can hear from God

And grow together in His Word

Sunday lunch comes too soon

It's time to head back home

Conversations, prayers, and tears

Have made up our weekend

They go home with us

God did show up amongst us

He drew us close to Him

He drew us close to others

Our lives changed if we allowed it

Because God has been at work
