1. YES, I loved the rest stop 2008 retreat.
2. ABSOLUTELY! I loved exactly when we had it this year, no too hot, not too cold. just right, weather wise and timing was good for me.
3. a) sleeping in on Sat., b) game night c) the zip line.
4. a) getting lost the first night on my way back to my cabin, b) too early for breakfast on Sat. c) ??
5. I could never "run the show", but I would try to change breakfast to a later time and I would definitely try not to put anyone in Cabin #57 unless it's been upgraded
6. Yes, he met me and guided me through some things I had been needing answers to and working on. How could I ignore God in that wonderful place when there was evidence of him everywhere.
7. I couldn't next year, but maybe in the years to come.
8. I made so many new connections it was great, all those wonderful christian women in one place, I can't wait to run into them at WACC and get to know them better.
9. I felt safe and secure.
10. That we would have more time on Sunday to linger and relax before having to check out, and that it be just as wonderful and comfortable as this one. Next year, maybe we could bring our own coffee maker? just a thought.
11. I think it would be good to have one a year for now. Then, pray about what next year is going to bring with everyone have to tighten up their belts and scale back a little. But, if you did have two, it would give others a chance to attend one if they couldn't attend both. Just a thought.
thank you so much for all your hard work and planning, it really did turn out great.

loved the retreat.. the time of year was great. I loved sitting by the "river", zipline, and speakers (loved how it was optional).Loved all of it . No bottom three activities.I made a lot of connections with people! yes I felt safe and secure!for 2009, the same.. REST.. I liked the amount of women that went.The idea of 2 retreats a year like this sounds nice, but wondering if there would be as big of a turn out for the second one? or maybe a new batch of women would make it to the second?

1. Definitely, it was a great concept of fellowship with fun and relaxation.
2. Yes; Yes
3. SLEEPING! Meeting new women & having a safe place to pray and share AND of course the ZIP LINE!
4. I don't think I had any- maybe praise and worship could have been more interactive. I like standing, clapping and raising my hands and voice.
5. I would have 3 nights not two. We got there late Friday and we really only had Saturday because Sunday we had to leave early. I would definitely make massages available and possibly chiropractics. I would have an organized physical game that the ladies could play all together at a specific time- like volleyball.
6. Yes, but He is so good whenever I seek Him, He is there!
7. Maybe, let me pray about it.
8. Yes
9. Yes
10. My prayer is that it would be a place where women come and get healed and delivered from things that have had them in bondage for years- then come home and give glory to God by telling as many people as they can about their experience!
11. Yes, that would be cool; October and May
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
L.L.1. Yes, I loved it.
2. Yes, Yes
3. Sleeping is definitely good, but I can sleep anytime.
- My hour with Jesus
- The speakers and Q & A
- Bonfire
5. I can't think of a thing; Everything!
6. Oh yes! I have felt like I was in a funk. Not knowing what to pray or what God's purpose for me is. I asked Sherry to pray for me and all I told her was that I was in a funk. The Holy Spirit spoke through her and everything she prayed was what I needed. I had a few other events that gave me affirmation about sharing my story. I have had a feeling that I should speak or teach regarding God's glory. ????
7. Yes, but I am always so busy this time of year. When does planning start?
8. Yes, I did. I met some new people and got to know a few better.
9. Yes.
10. Women meeting with God in nature and sharing stories of God's glory.
11. Yes, fall and early spring. Love the mountains!! Personally, I prefer this over the past retreats since they stopped going to Arrowhead.
It would be nice to have a mother daughter retreat. The only problem for me is it would be best to only take one daughter at a time so we could really bond and there could be one on one time and no fighting.

I loved the retreat; the freedom in the schedule, the beauty of the mountains/creek and the time with friends and meeting new women...it was all wonderful. The accommodations were rustic, but worth it because we were so close to nature.
