Our shattered dreams are never random. They are always a piece in a larger puzzle, a chapter in a larger story.

Silence

So this morning I am off to the lower mainland for well the usual counselling, as well as a three day silent retreat. I know three days of silence. I really don't know how I will make it through three days of silence. Thus I am a rooming with my sister in law.

So what is a silent retreat. Well for one thing you are silent, thus the name "Silent Retreat". Basically in short it is three days set aside to be still and rest in the presence of God, so I am sure that I will have lots to blog when I get back. I'll be honest I am both excited and nervous about this retreat. I am excited to have three days without distractions to just focus in on Jesus and our relationship. I am nervous because what if nothing happens and I spend three days and there is complete silence from Jesus. Also this is the longest I will have gone away for sine we got married. Jeral and I have been separated for longer when he went away on a missions trip in May, however I normally don't go away for this long. I enjoy sleeping in a comfy bed next to my husband so we'll see how long I can last. I might have to break my silence to give him a call to hear his voice. Yes I know rather mushy, and hey that is great because I love my husband.

So off I go, after a small breakfast and a few kisses from my hubby! I hope that you all have a blessed rest of your week and a wonderful weekend.

Leanne

PS- On Monday morning I have an appointment with my fertility specialist and would really appreciate your prayers. I have some big questions and concerns over all this fertility drug stuff. Plus we are really hoping that maybe just maybe this time we are prego's. However I am not holding my breath that way hopefully the let down won't be as bad this time.

I love retreats. Although I've never been on a silent retreat. Praying that God will speak even in the silence and that your appointment will go well.
Blessings.
