[Kate S]

YEY!

[Kate S]

I am waaaay too excited! :D Thank you! :D

[Ariadna <3]

Yay! Hopefully I can 'make it' to this one! :)
~Ariadna (formerly :) Smile (:

[Veronica]

Yes!! Thanks! I'm so glad I checked for a new post today! I will definitely (almost definitely) be there. Maybe even all three days!

[Alyson]

Yes!!! SO excited.

[God's Girl/Abi]

Yay! I might be able to make it on the Sat. or Sun. Sorry I haven't commented for quite a while I've been reading them though.

[Sarah B]

Neat! I'm not totally sure what that is, but it sounds really fun:) Count me in!

[Nicole]

Oh, that's great! I'm glad it's not this month. I'm crazy busy this month!! :P Anyway, so excited! Thanks, Mrs. Rue!

So, I know I still haven't replied to the blog before, about turning lords into Lord. I'm really struggling with this! My life has been a roller coaster lately, esp. spiritually - in my relationship with and growth in God - and that roller coaster is still going.

Please just pray for me. I have a feeling there's a battle going on in regards to what Christ is doing in me and my family - not because of who we are or anything, but what His Spirit can do through and in us if we obey Him. And if we choose not to obey Him, not to fully turn our lives over to Him....yeah.

So, please pray, if you would! Thanks. <3 Love y'all!

[Katie]

Yay yay yay!

[Emii]

Suh-weet! I have hardly been commenting over here lately but I'm still alive. :)

[Avery]

:)

[Natalie]

YAY I can`t wait!!!!

Can you girls pray for me please. There is this stuff I have been reading and it is dragging me down not religion wise but emotionally and stressed and stuff. Thanks :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Very excited about it!! :) I usually work Fridays and Saturdays so... we'll see. I guess it depends on the times. But I should be free on Sunday!

Natalie-- Praying for you, girl!

My grandfather is still in the hospital. His surgery was last Wednesday and the doctors had expected him to be able to go home in less than two days... well, it's been 8 days now and he still on feeding tubes because he still can't swallow. Please be praying!

[Abbie]

Fabulous! I'm looking forward to it :)

Abbie

[Caitlin]

Yay ! I won't be there that Saturday (again) but I think I'll come on Friday an Saturday! I will pray for you Natalie!

[Nicole]

I might miss a session on Saturday if we have it in the evening or late afternoon (my church service runs from 5pm to 6pm EST, so we usually have to leave around 4:30). Do you think we could possibly, if you were thinking of having a session any time that afternoon, have it in the early afternoon?

Praying for you, Sarah Elizabeth and Natalie! Praying for healing for your grandfather and peace, calm for you and your family / extended family. Natalie, I know what it's like to be stressed! I'll be praying for you. What you're reading, do you mean that you know that you should stop reading it or is it something for school or is it just an overload or...? :) Just curious, so I know specifically what to pray for. Love ya girls!! <3

[Miriam]

Can't wait, especially since the last one was so good! Guys, thanks for your prayers for my friend. She survived the surgery!

[Nicole]

Miriam, that's great!! Oh, I'm so excited for you and her and her family! Thank You, God! ;)

Oh, and Sarah B, our virtual blog retreats are basically where, for a weekend, we have certain sessions (usually 2 hours each, I believe) throughout the day where Mrs. Rue is on here and she posts a ton of blog posts as we all talk back and forth. The whole virtual retreat will focus on one theme, usually. Hope that helps! ;)

[God's Girl/Abi]

I will be praying Natalie and Sarah Elizabeth. Natalie I have been stressed before and as a matter of fact I am now... I have a spelling bee on Tues. and right after that my first Volleyball practice. Last bee, I was so stressed I got a splotchy rash all over my torso and that stressed me more. Sorry I was rambling, all I meant to say was that I understand what you are going through, and I'll be praying. I can't wait for the party!!

[Chelsea :)]

oh man!! hope i'll be able to come :) i haven't been able to be at the last couple sooo.....yeah :)

Prayin for y'all!

[Melody]

Hurray can't wait for the retreat! I'm not sure if I'll be able to attend, but I think I can.

I second Nicole's request that the Sunday afternoon session be a little earlier if possible. I have church Sunday afternoon/evening, but if the afternoon session was about 3 that would be perfect for me :)

Obviously, I'm back from vacation by the way. It was really great, but I'm glad to be back home :)

[Paige]

Hey girls!! I'm baaack :D Dominican Republic was the most amazing experience ever, God blessed me so greatly. I missed you girlies though!! Can't wait to catch up and join in about what God's been doing in all your lives! Also love the dates for the winter retreat :D Works perfectly!

[Nicole]

Ooh, yay, I'm so glad you had an incredible time at the DR, Paige!! I can't wait to hear all about it. ;)

Oh, and Melody, if I said Sunday, I meant to say Saturday. ;) But an early Sunday afternoon session is cool with me, too! :D

Love ya girls! <3
