Everything’s Funnier After 1 a.m.
UPDATED: Here’s a group shot…Aren’t those some fine lookin’ ladies??
I’ve just returned from my church’s annual women’s retreat to the Smoky Mountains and I have but one word for you:
Exhausted.
However, there is no amount of tired that can trump the ridiculously great experience of a weekend with God and 50 of your closest girlfriends. I don’t know that I have ever laughed as hard over things that were any less funny than I did Saturday night.
I’ll be recapping as soon as I get some pictures from our resident photographer, Cheryl, but for now I just wanted to make an appearance in case you are really sick of looking at ‘How to Clean Your Shower’.
To the girls who went on the retreat: Oh, how I adore you. Know I am praying for you today that Satan will flee from your darlin’, refreshed selves. Remember, we ain’t dead yet!
So you know what I’ve done for the last few days. What did you do over the weekend?
Just 2 words for ya…Garage Sell!
So glad you had such a fun weekend with our fun God!
I also spoke at a Retreat on Friday night. Then I spent Saturday at a horse show with my horse-obsessed daughter and I did redeem the day by cleaning out a closet and studying for Sunday School. I know, I know, my life is riveting.

I will be working on your cd today girlfriend! Thanks for such a wonderful weekend! Loved it!!
I spent the weekend with these crazy ladies! It was awesome! Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are the bomb!! God rocked that place!! So much more I could say, but my brain is still in flatliner mode!! Love ya girl!
Saturday morning I took care of some sweet babies at our twice-yearly weekend childcare event for our weekday preschool.
The rest of the time between church and life in general, I’ve been battling allergies from the oak pollen falling from the trees. Our driveway and cars are yellow-green from all the gunk falling out of the trees. We need a heavy rain to wash it all away.
Your ladies are blessed to have you as their preacher’s wife–your love for them is so obvious!
I love the Smokey Mountains, by the way. I’ve only been once, and I’ve always wanted to go back!
I always love our Women’s retreat too! Even though you don’t get much sleep you are always refreshed! We didn’t have one this year! I sure miss it!
Survived.

Corey left yesterday morning for another business trip. I will be insanely happy when April is over. Mealtime and bath time and bedtime with three kids who all need Mom right now is going to be the death of me.
There must be a better way. That’s what I’m thinking about this morning.
Hey Lisa,
Your weekend sounds fabulous. I too had an awesome day in God’s house yesterday where we were told the my hubby is now the Youth Pastor, so I think I’d better go back over your blog and read up on being a “preachers wife”! Eeek! We’re really excited about it though. Other than that I say “ditto” to kelly @ love well!
Lots of love, Del x

Food, Fun and Friends….with a gallon sized drink of the Holy Spirit to top it off with! Can’t get any better than that!
Thanks for your time and prayers you devoted to this weekend. I can just see the abundance of seeds planted from it!
As my kids would say it, “It rocked!”
Love ya!
I took a group of 14 girls, 4 other women, and one male bus driver to a girls conference in Tyler.
It was the Sage Simplicity conference and we had a blast. Several of the girls didn’t even want to be there and many of their friends had backed out, but GOD blessed every minute of our trip! The girls LOVED it and I truly believe that their lives were changed this weekend.
I had the chance to meet with some other minister’s wives. Mainly youth minister’s wives, but there were others there too. It was a really wonderful time and very refreshing!
Our women’s retreat was in january and 50 of us went on a cruise!!! It was awesome! this weekend was also wonderful……all the kids went on a youth camping trip and I got a weekend with my hubby!!!
Yes, there is nothing better than a girl’s weekend with God!! I am so give out but yet so refreshed!! I had so much fun this weekend and I truely love you girls!! Thanks Lisa for all you do!!

Lisa, you already know that I had a wonderful time, but I have to say you look so “T-Dazzling” in this group pic.
I need to ask Judith about how well she stayed with First Place after eating at Bull Fish! :)It’s all good when the leader splurges a little! Glad ya’ll had a great time!
What fun! We’ve got ours this weekend and I cannot wait! Yippeeee!
I don’t think I have missed a retreat since I joined Noble. I tell all the new members who are going for the first time that you learn a lot that you don’t need to know or even want to know(Ha!Ha!).It’s amazing to see so many different denomination come together as one. As my husband says “It’s a God thing”. I am already looking forward to our next trip.
Looks like you guys had such a wonderful time! I have been so crazed and stressed lately that everday seems like a blur :) I’m glad I was able to drop by your blog today :) Hope all is well.
