When I was first asked to go, I said, "I can't get away from work." The second time I was asked, I said "that I would try." I decided it would be a good break. Boy was I in for a surprise. I have been to retreats like this one before, but none of them compare. God worked wonders in my life. He showed me how badly my priorities were out of order. He reminded me that when we make Him a priority, that everything else is taken care of. He also reminded me that when we align our will with His, our God never fails to deliver. He ALWAYS takes care of His children.
I was totally unprepared for what God did in my heart at the Encounter, but am so glad I attended. The peace and joy I now have in Christ is unbelievable, and I would encourage anyone on the fence about going to not think twice about it- ATTEND! I promise, you won't be sorry you did.
