It sounds as if it is just what you needed...God knew! And He led you there. I don't always know the right things to say in large groups; but with 16 people, it seems the right size for sharing. And who doesn't love a great big hug!!!<br /><br />Thanks for shairng!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16954512718777249848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5739107202118962075.post-48539128781232705512015-07-04T19:07:29.226-05:002015-07-04T19:07:29.226-05:00Love your response to the prompt!!

I can't say I find joy in that connection with people, as truly connecting scares me to death on an emotional level. The chitchat I can deal without, and sharing my story is okay, but the deep down get to know me stuff, well God's working on it.

If you're in Nashville, TN check out Dovehouse Ministries and The Scarritt Bennett Center for offerings. If not try googling spiritual direction or healing retreats.

Oh I love to talk, just not about myself. Maybe I should find a retreat such as yours, I think it will do me a world of good.
