An Overflowing Cup

 

I just returned home after a whirlwind 36 hour weekend with 170 women. So many hours went into planning the event and in a blink of an eye, it is over. And yet, it was the highlight of my year so far. 

It was wonderful to see friends I only see a couple of times a year. But the highlight of the weekend was praying with some dear friends before the start of the evening service. As we prayed, I felt peace wash over me and it was probably one of the most being "in-the-moment" conferences I've been at. Normally, I have difficulty focusing during the speakers' talks and during worship because my mind is on the next thing that will be happening in the schedule. But I was able to truly spend time in worship and hear from the Lord.

I stayed home from church yesterday and spent time alone on my back patio, reading and praying. The weather was beautiful and it was a much needed time of solitude.

I had a good sleep last night and I'm ready to get back into my normal routine. I woke up to birds chirping right outside my window. A pair of cardinals have made a nest in the rhododendron bush outside the window and it was so sweet to hear them. It was a pretty neat way to wake up on a Monday.

My cup is overflowing this morning. This is one of the songs the worship team did this weekend and it reflects my thoughts this morning.
