Last Friday, I ventured out and went to our church's Womens' Retreat. I really admire the speaker who is a member at our church, has crohns disease, and gets remicaid infusins from Dr. Pete just like me. She is an amazing lady and spoke about learning to go to Christ in our pain. She also talked about going to CHrist during our times of joy as well... but I was really struck by a story she told about a group of people who wanted to put God on trial. The story goes on to tell about how hard these peoples' lives were and that they want God to try to live through being distriminated against, living through tremendous pain, being tortured, etc... to realize at the end that Christ did these very things for us already! Go to Christ in your pain and find Peace that cannot be found anywhere else.
While mommy was away at this retreat, daddy ventured to Seattle with Charlotte to visit uncle Sean. Then they took Charlotte to the childrens' museum and Red Robin for lunch. What a fun day!!!
