Well, I was suppose to be on my way to Sneads Florida today, to attend the Free To Be Me Bloggers Retreat. But, due to health problems, I had to stay home. I am disappointed, was looking so forward to meeting some wonderful blogging sisters, and sharing in a precious time of praising the Lord, and sharing our hearts with one another. But, God had other plans in store for me, so I will be here in Tennessee, allowing God to heal me physically. My body may not be there in Florida, but my heart, and my mind is. I intend to pray for those dear sisters all weekend. Asking God to be right there in the middle of everything they do during this retreat, may their souls be on fire. May they all be refreshed, and renewed. I pray this for each of you reading this post also, may God give you a special touch of love. I love you all, I really do. I pray only the best for all of you.

I'm so sorry you will miss this precious time with the other bloggers. I wish I was able to attend too, but God has something else in mind for us. We can be prayer warriors for the retreat! Love you dear sister!
You are such a sweetie! I love your heart. As always blessed by my visit here! Hugs!
Disappointed - always a difficult thing to walk through but praise God for your attitude. I pray you feel better soon!!
I'm sorry you are unable to attend. I knew you were planning on going and were looking forward to that. I pray for God to be with you and give you good health.

Denise, you are one of the most gracious, generous persons I have "met"! May God pour out even MORE grace on your life. In spite of your disappointment, find Him sufficient and full of mercy as you trust Him, praise Him, learn of Him, and continue your ministry of holding up sisters (and brothers) to the Throne of grace today.
Your example of grace, submission, contentment and praise put me to shame and draw out deep desire for more of Him in my life.
I am so sorry Denise.. My heart breaks knowing that you were not able to go.. I know it was something that you were looking forward to for a very long time. May the peace of God overshadow you today and give you great peace. His Holy Spirit knows no boundries and HE will bless you over and above what you will even think during this day.
Many hugs to you sweet friend... HE is watching!
Sorry you are not able to attend, it does sound wonderful. Praying for you as well. Blessings, Debbie

I am so sorry you were not well enough to attend this event. It sounds really cool. Maybe next time... Take care. Praying for you.
I love the way you welcome this with a positive attitude, always willing to submit to what the Lord wants for you. But I pray that His strength will sustain you and heal you physically as well. Your prayer covering is surely needed by these precious women on fire for the Lord. God bless you sister Denise and I'm praying with you, for you and this retreat! Love to you.
Denise, I'm so sorry you will miss the blogger's retreat! I know from past posts you have written that you were really looking forward to attending.
I'll be praying for you and your health concerns.
Happy Thankful Thursday!
I regret that you were not able to go and I pray you are soon well. I appreciate you and wanted to take time to tell you so!!
Oh! thank you Denise for that sweet thought. I am so sorry you could not make it, You graciousness in your disappointment is so touching. You are such an inspiration here in blogland. You give so much to all of us, and for that I am truly grateful.
God must really have a big mission for you this weekend, I will contiue to pray for healing in you body in Jesus name.
Blessings and Hugs,

I am praying for you, dear Denise. May God continue to restore you. I will be praying for the bloggers at the retreat too. May God grant them a fruitful and blessed time. Hugs and prayers, Nancie
you really have a heart of gold, denise. God has better plans, much greater than you can imagine. be blessed. love ya!
I missed a conference a few weeks ago (that I had paid for in June). I needed to stay home and take care of my husband after a surgery. Yes, it was disappointing. I sooo wanted to go. But at the end of the day, I wanted to be where God wanted me, and I was so convicted to stay that I just knew I had to. I'm so glad I did. I pray comfort and healing, and that there'll be another conference for you to attend soon. OR anything else better that God has planned. :)
Oh, Denise! My heart is so heavy to hear of your disappointment. I know how you've been looking forward to this.
Lord, I ask for Denise that You'll comfort her for this loss, and bless her for her gratitude. Please pour out upon her blessing which exceeds what she would have experienced at the conference. Please shower her life with waterfalls of feeling Your love, above all the love of all her friends combined. Please give her something extra and unexpected this weekend to bring her abundance of joy. Thank you for the great blessing You've put in my life of Denise. You know what a treasure she is. I love You Lord. Amen.
Oh Denise, I am so sorry. big hug. My prayers are with you.
Bummer. You were so anticipating this reteat. My prayer is that God will supernaturally fill you with physical healing, and may you feel His inspiration right where you are and His love so that you do not miss a thing.
I love you, my friend.
Mary
So sorry you weren't able to go to the Bloggers Retreat. I'm sure your sweet presence is missed.
Lifting you up in prayer.
Praying that your health will return and sorry that you are not able to attend the blogger retreat. I, too, will not be able to attend but I will join you in prayer for those who are.
Feel better!
Shalom,
Denise
I am sorry you were not able to attend dear one......
I'm sorry to hear that you weren't able to attend the conference after all. I know you must be disappointed but I also hope that you are feeling better though.
Oh sweet Denise. I am right there with you, my sister in Christ. I have a chronic illness (actually, a nice little cluster of them) that is usually under good control but flares in the fall. By the grace of God, I can still work. But after work, I'm pretty much done for the day. It's very difficult to live with the pain, low energy and especially, the misunderstanding of people around me. I look fine! I seem fine! So why can't I do X, Y or Z?
Denise, God has introduced me to so many people who, like me, suffer illness. It's been my joy to pray for them. You are now on my list, sweet Denise. May God grant you peace, comfort, and an abundance of blessing today.
He is ever mighty to save, ever good, ever present. God bless you.
Denise, I have been away for a while, having some obligations that have preoccupied me but I do think of you often. I look forward to catching up. I do pray that you are feeling better. May the good Lord fill you with His peace and healing.
Denise, I'm so sorry you were unable to attend. You are certainly in my prayers. May God completely restore your health.
Love,
Teresa
Denise, you are so amazing. (((((HUGS)))))
