I'm committing to driving two hours away from my babies and my love, for two days. Just writing that makes me anxious, but I know they'll be in good hands and I know God wants my presence at this women's retreat.
I'm fairly certain that if two of my great girlfriends weren't going though, I would have easily passed. I would have just said:
"Whoops, I missed the registration, again."
"Oops, I forgot to get my money in, again."
"Dang, Tony has hockey the whole weekend, again."
I'm remaining strong on this one though, even as I think of opportunities for the devil to steal this from me, and I'm almost certain there will be some form of attack, I'm making this retreat!

I feel jealous that you get a full weekend with girlfriends and God. I would feel anxious too, but enjoy your time away!!
I will be praying for a smooth weekend for your whole family!
I always have a hard time leaving for retreat, but about halfway through Saturday morning, I suddenly realize that I needed it, and that it's worth a couple days away to intentionally seek after God...
That's so awesome! You're going to feel so refreshed and centered. I wish our church did retreats like that! And I know what you mean about the enemy stopping you, I definitely feel that too when planning something like this. It's amazing how much will "come up".
