CLC womens retreat!

This weekend was the annual CLC Womens Retreat in Winona MN. A bunch of girls from church all go together and it is a fun and uplifting weekend! This is my third year going and I have always left the retreat with a renewed faith and feeling inspired. This year the theme was "Uniquely Women" and our roles and responsibilities as christian women. It was a good reminder of the many roles women have and how our words and actions are seen by many. It isn't always easy to be the christian woman Gods wants you to be, but by His grace, we are saved! It is always a great weekend with friends as well! It was beautiful in Winona, and there is a small lake right across the road from the hotel we stayed at with a walking path, so April, Karen and I went for a nice afternoon walk.

That night is the dinner with everyone. They always have us take big group pictures, and this year it was in front of a tree. April and I thought it looked like one of those trees you have your picture taken with at prom...so we had to take a picture!

These are never early nights at the retreat. We always end up in someones room chatting with people from all over. I didn't go to ILC for high school, so I don't know many people there, but it is always fun to meet some new people! This year there were people from Colorado, Nebraska, Minnesota, South Dakota...and one other state farther away I can't remember!
