THANK YOU

** See I told you I would have to add more- to Niki & Charlsie for taking all the pics. Check out FaceBook - we are everywhere & have our own group:)

With some sleep behind us, it is time for thank you's (in no particular order):

  • To the prayer team for praying over us the week before the retreat- no doubt it paved the way.
  • To the praise team for all their hard work. You prepared our hearts for the Word of God.
  • To the greeters who made every lady feel welcomed, made fabulous name tags & signs. You shared the love of Christ and Grace Creek with every woman who walked in that door.
  • To the food team - WOW! We ate like queens! Thank you for organizing last night & for cooking away this morning. Where else does one of the guest speakers show up at 6 to cook breakfast!
  • To the clean up team - how much of a blessing were you two? You will never know what a joy it was to not have to clean up. Everything was spic & span. You brought honor to the house of the Lord. May you be blessed for it.
  • To the decorating team -how cute were you? The decorations were great. Very girly! Thanks for the hard work!
  • To all the guests speakers and musicians - thank you so much for putting yourself out there for us and for Jesus. We pray that you are blessed 100 fold for the blessing you were to us.
  • To David, Matt, James, Bill, Jared, & Amanda - thank you so much for helping set up and opening the church to us. It was such a blessing!
  • And BENJAMIN - what to say. Thank you is insufficient - your hard work was invaluable to us. You are a blessing to our WOG and Grace Creek. May the Lord bless you pressed down & overflowing; more than you could have ever imagined!

If I forgot anyone or group, I am sorry. But please know we are thankful beyond what words can say! And now I am going to take a liberty and say a special thank you to Judy & Vivian. Absolutely - hands down - no way - this would have happened without you. You heart for the Lord is not only a blessing but an encouragement to me and many others. Words can not do justice to the love I have for you both. We may butt heads - but our hearts are knitted together in Christ and that trumps all! Your willingness to lay down your desires and press hard after Jesus is humbling. It is an honor and a privilege to serve with you.

All right - that is it for tonight. I will see all you lovelies in the am. More pics to come! Bless you! Sleep well!
