womens' retreat

I just got back from Immanuel Fellowship's first ever womens' retreat. It was so much fun. It was clear that the women who planned it put a lot of work and prayer into it.

God spoke to me a lot over the weekend. First about giving myself to Him more completely in a few areas. He showed me an area where I need a deeper trust in Him and be persuing to accept His ideas about who I am. Yes, I know I'm being vague but most of the stuff God spoke to me was really personal. And of course (drum roll please) He spoke to me about modesty! However, since boys read this I don't really want to give the specifics on that either. ; )

Well maybe I will talk about modesty a little. It can be a pretty controversial subject somethimes. Yet if I really love God with everything that would include the way I dress. Generally I think I'm pretty good about modesty, but I should always be open to God challenging me to a higher standard in any area. If I really love Him what less could I do?
