A Weekend to Remember
When was the last time you got away? A weekend for just you & your spouse to spend time together. On Friday March 5th Brandon & I will be heading to Wichita for the "A Weekend to Remember" marriage retreat. I can't wait! We attended the one in Tulsa last year and had a wonderful time. I can honestly say that God has blessed me with a wonderful marriage. Mainly because he chose to bless me with a wonderful man. Brandon & I do not argue often because he just doesn't argue. He simply finds a way to work things out with me without an argument. I used to just hate it! I would be all fired up for a good fight. He just wouldn't give in and argue with me. It's a characteristic I have grown to love more & more over the past 16 years. As good as I think our marriage is there is always room for improvement and we learned so much last year. The speakers touch on many marital topics and much is done in humor & fun. We walked away both blessed & challenged. They are equipped to help anyone on the verge of divorce and those that have the best of marriages. We are hoping to have some couples in the area attend with us. If anyone is interested just leave me a comment on here or shoot me a message through facebook and I will be happy to get you more information. We would LOVE to have couples join us! :) It's going to be great!
Brandon is the most wonderful husband & daddy anyone could ask for! I am so thankful that in God's sovereign plan he brought the two of us together. I am so thankful for every day with him and we joke all the time about how we can't wait to grow old together! He is my Best Friend!
My husband Brandon & I live in Mankato, Kansas, We were called to Full Time Ministry in July of 2008. We followed God's call to Kansas in August of 2008. We have a wonderful family including Samantha 19, Kailey who is 13, Trenton 11 and sweet Trevor who went to Heaven on January 4, 2010 when I was 17 weeks & 2 days pregnant.. We have also had the privilege of being foster parents to 7 sweet bonus children to date. I LOVE our family and our life in Kansas. God has been so faithful. Our life is NOT easy but following God is so worth it!
The fact that I am a woman does not make me a different kind of Christian, but the fact that I am a Christian makes me a different kind of woman. For I have accepted God's idea of me, and my whole life is an offering back to Him of all that I am, and all that He wants me to be.-Elisabeth Elliot
