Psalms 51:10 "Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me."
This past weekend, the ladies of my home church gathered together for a retreat in West Harrison, Indiana. It was great that it worked out I could go. My family was in East Peoria, IL for Wednesday service, and going to be heading to Ashtabula, OH for a conference starting Sunday, so IN was right in the path of our travels anyway!
Sixty-eight ladies gathered at the peaceful location of Higher Ground Camp and Conference Center to focus on renewing a right spirit. Sarah Anderson, a pastor's wife in Georgia, taught lessons on seven spirits that we can typically have. Three of these spirits we are to strive to put off: a HASTY spirit, a HAUGHTY spirit, and a HURT spirit; and four we are to put on: a HUMBLE spirit, a HARNASSED spirit, an HONORABLE spirit, and a HAPPY spirit.

| I am thankful for our pastor's wife for taking the time to organize this event and for all the work she put into it! |

| A goofy skit helping to define what "renew" really means |
 |
| Ready to renew! |
 |
| The food was great too (however, I forgot to take a picture of the hot fudge cake, oops!). |
 |
| As we parted ways, we were given a token to remember the conference by with Psalm 51:10 on it. |
