Girl's Night Away

I had the opportunity to go with some friends to a Christian Women's "retreat" this past weekend that featured Priscilla Shirer. We all had so much fun and learned a lot from her! We all spent Friday night at a hotel in Roswell and had a good old fashioned slumber party that night... hanging out in our PJ's, eating way too much junk food, and we even made a craft! You can see us making, then holding our new cross necklaces in the pictures.

Priscilla Shirer was an amazing speaker... we all felt like we could relate to much of what she said because we are in or near the same stage of life (mothers of young children, and a really busy life). She mostly focused on a wonderful topic for all of us: The Interrupted Life. The four points that she made on this subject are worth sharing!

1) The interrupted life is the privileged life

--when God asks us to do something, we often back off even though we appear ready to

receive

--God gives us the opportunity to participate in our lives

2) The interrupted life is the significant life

--our search for significance ends here

--God doesn't cal you because you are equipped... he equips you because you have

been called

3) The interrupted life is the challenging life

--just when you are settled God calls you to go

--the challenging life will most often be more difficult than the one that you have

planned for yourself

--the grass that is tended to is always greener

4) The interrupted life is an accountable life

--God knows our heart and knows if we are being completely obedient

--disobedience will always cost you more than obedience

We can all relate to these things and many other things that Priscilla had to say because we have all been there! Usually these interruptions (no matter how large or small) will end up being a blessing!

I hope that every day is a blessing for you!
