This past weekend was a delight—in more ways that one!
- Delight! was the topic for the Ladies’ Mini-Retreat at the Enterprise Boulevard Church of Christ in Lake Charles, Louisiana.
- My aunt Vickie Jordan who lives in Missouri surprised me and attended the retreat.
- A couple of ladies from Houston, one of which I met at Pepperdine, drove over for the event.
- The Friday night group delighted in some laughter therapy.
- I delighted in sharing how much God delights himself in us, and what it looks like to delight ourselves in the Lord.
- Five women in a small group together delighted in God’s providence to put them together in a group since they all have the exact same struggle in common. They no longer feel alone in that struggle.
- Dozens of women were overwhelmed with love and joy in the realization of how much God delights himself in each of them personally.
