Is there anything you would change?

Maybe a few songs that are known & peppier? Other than that I wouldn't chage a anything. ~Caitlin

The whole retreat I felt was well planned and thought out. I appreciate all the planning and the many hours of time spent by so for us to learn, grow, and enjoy. ~Patricia

Maybe not the entire weekend, end on Saturday night. I really thought everything was great! ~Melinda

What specifically did God Speak to your heart during this retreat?

My favorite thing I came away with was the trees - the camp of darkness and light. It was a realization of how much fear I really had - fear of failure - in my weight loss, in my home as a wife, Mother & housekeeper. It was so great to be set free from that. Another of my favorite things was realizing that these Christians that hurt me (a specifically vicious attack recently occurd) are very, very good - they just don't know it! ~Caitlin

Through the teaching I am learning to overcome so many ingrained blocks and barriers I've dealt with all of my life. Again & again the teaching how to change my way of living, thinking, old habits, by applying God's word. Realizing more who I am in Christ, that He always wants His best for us. He has shown His great love for us by His suffering, humiliation, rejection, utter abandonment, by all. The physical agony through His death. He did it all for every human being ever to be born, past & forever until He comes. And it was for our righteousness and healing, who we are in Him. It was finished for our sake. I have never felt or experienced this like I have these 2 days here. I give Jesus the glory, praise & honor and I thank each one of you! ~Patricia

I feel blessed, refreshed, favored...uniquely favored. I have a fresh revelation of what Jesus has already accomplished for me. What Jesus did on the cross wasn't just to unite me with God, it was to unite me with other Christians. We are one body together! We are tuly joint heirs with Jesus. Hallelujah! Loved the two trees diagrams. They were definitive illustrations that portrayed the Tree of Life (Kingdom of God) and the Tree of Knowledge of Good & Evil (Kingdom of Darkness). Good Job! ~Debbie

Tree of death cycle - never saw that as a Christian. I could and somethimes do get stuck in this sin - shame - fear cycle. Also an understanding of who does the work - God does, in my own strength nothing will change. ~Melinda

Please share from your overall experience this weekend:

So Wonderful! So Refreshining! The good news is so wonderful to hear :o) I just feel so refreshed in the Lord. Like I could fly on Eagles Wings! I've taken away so many wonderful points to ponder, scripures to "dig deeper" in, & things to talk more with my Abba Father about. I realized I don't have to have help with weight loss, I can ask for the truth that will set me free. That was a sudden realization too. ~Caitlin

I have never felt so much understanding of what Jesus did on the cross for us as I have at this retreat. I did a lot of soul searching & wanting to change. I know God did a lot of healing in my heart & soul. He washed away a lot of dross with the tears I shed. I will never be the same. I am 78 years old and ths is only the beginning! I can imagine hearing God say "What took you so long?" He really got me off dead center thanks to your wonderful teaching. ~Patricia

I have felt the presence of God since my sister and I arrived at Heart O Hills. I have been like a "grateful sponge" soaking up every message and revelation. What a blessing to be in the company of Christian sisters as we sing, worship, and experience the grace of God togeher. My spirit has been fed, and I am ever grateful to everyone who made this rereat possible. ~Debbie

I thought the location was wonderful - so nice to be out of town. I was blessed and challenged to stay and live in the tree of life. I loved the scriptures given and how sweet God uses them to restore my soul. I am going home to a challenging situion and I know the battle is won and it is finished on the cross. ~Melinda
