because i know she won't mind.

i just had about three minutes to talk to kylah on ichat before she left to spend time with michael before bed.

i already knew i was going to be jealous of the sweet time you guys got to spend with God at the retreat.

kylah confirmed it.

"i gave God the real me this weekend. walls broken. altar built. i found my way into the holy of holies. i don't know if i've ever really done that before. if so, it's been so long i can't remember. i am letting God gaze at me adoringly, faults and all, and i'm gazing back. i'm so in love."

wow. all i can say is wow.

though i wouldn't have taken back the wonderful early-anniversary date last night with landon, i truly wish the two would've fallen on different weekends.

i pray that you ladies continue to experience God's love and peace this week and beyond.

inspired by you, i'll be searching for time this week to get alone with God and revel in His amazing presence.

aren't we all so lucky to know a woman like delana? so sensitive to the Spirit in planning this weekend. i know she allowed God to work, and lives were changed.

you have no idea how positive i am when i say -- i WILL not miss it next year.
