and the path veers to the right
With medical tests still to come and a more refined diagnosis yet to be told, I am leaving on Friday for a Woman's Retreat Weekend...I have been saying out loud for weeks, "I am going to Camp this year!" I was prepared to be wheeled in, if necessary. So, I made my 'list of things' to pack and began to get excited.
Lo and behold, I received a rather interesting phone call this morning, not only am I going to this Retreat, but one of the scheduled speakers canceled and they want ME to replace her!!! Me?!
I calmly said, "Sure, I can do that." So, this path that I so fiercely layed down the gauntlet with has already opened up a new and exciting door. :)
I've been giggling all day...and suddenly concerned about what I'm going to wear! Truth be told...I would do this in my bathrobe and the timing of this opportunity couldn't be more perfect :)
God is good

Oh Sweetie! I am giggling right along with you! When you called me to tell me the news and asked if I was sitting down, I thought you were going to tell me that the camp caught on fire.... we were not going to be able to go. I would have never guessed what you were about to tell me and be so calm about it. We are seeing some of our dreams just unfold in front of us... so sweet!
It's just amazing how all of this is falling into place!
How many times have I talked to you today?!!!
Love you
p.s. YOU are not going to wear your bathrobe!
I am so excited!
Honestly, you could wear a burlap sack and look stunning.
What an awesome turn of events. I wish I could go to hear you speak.
That is so great, Darlene! You have such a story and are so encouraging...I'm certain you will bless many people who listen. I wish I could be one of them!!!

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah...Dar do you get the idea of how I'm feeling! Since that phone call last night, I've been standing in awe at God's timing!!
Loving you, Wanda Mom
Will be praying for what the Lord wants you to share!
I'm giggling too! This is just perfect. Am wishing you a wonderful time and loads of fun!!
big smooch
How wonderful!! Have a fabulous time!
I am so excited for you honey and even more excited for those who get the opportunity to hear your soulfull and inspiring words.
Thinking of you always xx
Amen! :) That sounds fun and exciting. I hope you have a great time and come back feeling encouraged and refreshed by your weekend at "camp".
I'm so happy for you and the way God is encouraging you right now. Looking forward to a full report!
I just had to read this post again, I'm so happy for you!! And you look absolutely fabulous in that picture! Hugs to you xox
hurrah!! have an amazing time : ) xox
I am so happy for you.I know you will do wonderfully well.
Congratulations on being selected to speak. They wouldn't have asked if they didn't have confidence in you.
Wearing the bathrobe is a unique idea. Depending on your topic, it could be just the thing.
btw, I have taught public speaking and understand the potential for jitters. Just get your butterflies flying in formation, and everything will be just fine.
I wish I could be fly on the wall to hear you. Let us know how things went.
You are so right Darlene, God does love you and this is your blessing from him now go and bless him right back. I wish with all my heart that I could be there to listen to every breath, every word you will speak forth. I will send all my prayers with you. Go and dance like no one is watching, speak like only God is listening!
::BIG hugs for you::
love you dear one,
Sheila
