So, I spent the weekend (10/16-10/18/09) in Murietta for the women's retreat. It was a great weekend. The topic was Psalm 23, which was so appropriate with everything that's going on in my life right now. I am doing to break down the sections as we went through the 6 verses of the Psalm.
Teaching I - Psalm 23 - The Shepherd we need.
Teaching II - Psalm 23:2 - The Sheperd of Rest and Peace
Teaching III - Psalm 23:3 - The Sheperd of Healing and Guidance
Teaching IV - Psalm 23:4-5 - The Shepherd of Presence
Teaching V - Psalm 23:6 - The Shepherd of Hope and Heaven
Each section was broken down and explained. It was interesting, emotional and a true blessing. In between teachings, we also had devotion and down time to reflect on the teachings and have devotional time with the Lord. Over the almost 48 hours that I was there, I walked almost 4.5 miles. Thank God I took my walking shoes with me, or I'd be hurting. Oh, and they know how to feed you, too. Here is the menu from the weekend:
