On the 24th and 25th a special Women's retreat was going on at Valley View. The title was Reflections, meaning reflecting God in this world and, reflecting on what God has done in the lives of many in the church. Gratitude was also widely talked about. So without further adieu, I would like to share the main points that God showed me this weekend.

•      1. "God extends grace to you all the time, sometimes we're just too preoccupied to see it." -Kellie Haithcoat

•      2. Many things in this world you can't really count on. The only things that are never changing are: A) God is who he says he is and B) He does what he say he will.

•      3. Even through our insecurities God can work through you, he says "I know you! I made you I know exactly what you're feeling. Stop making excuses that you can't do it, I will do it through you!" 

•      4. Through every situation, no matter how bad, you can always see God's amazing grace throughout it.
