Northern Californis Ladies Retreat 2008

This picture of me, Starla; Genieva and Rebekak was taken ( 2007) at the Ladies Yearly Retreat. Update: September 2008- With the Lord's help and guidance, we got there safely and on time. Becky said it was easier to find this time around. The weather was really nice, and as you can see Lassen Pines is a beautiful and peaceful place. We enjoy three full days of fun and fellowship. The carpeted cabins are modern with six sleeping bunks, double vanity and private shower with stall. The campground has a beautiful lake. We took a hike up to the Paul Bunyon statue. This year we had a mascot a cute black lab came into the grounds and proceeded to follow everyone around the area.

The theme was 'CHOICES OF THE HEART'

Guest Speaker: Susan Giboney hails from Pepperdine University,

also: Pat Evans on CHOOSING THE HEART OF A SERVANT, and our own Rebekah Chappel on the book: RAINBOW FISH, who shared because he cared. Everyone loved it and grandmothers are going to buy the book for their grandchildren.

I met a lot of Christians members of 'The New Testament church of Christ', it's great to be among like minded ladies. The singing was so inspirational, I can still hear it in my minds eye. I learn more each year from my christian sisters' wisdom & comfort in our Holy Lord God. We were asked to meet in the hall for a 'Caregiver-sharing', it amazed me how many seniors were taking care of their elderly parents. One sister was greatly comforted, as she took our mascot the black lab home to live with her (after exausting all local resources of lost & found). She named the dog 'Val' after our Valentine hearts theme. I was so happy for her I grabbed her hand in excitement.

Enjoy: Our Lord Gods' Abundant Blessings with Care & Share...
