I'm leaving this morning to go on a solitude retreat with a group of women, and I must say I'm looking forward to it. Solitude usually means 24 hours or more of silence, but that might look a little different this time. I do know that I'll have a lot of time alone with the Lord without books, music or television as a distraction. It's an awkward practice at first, but it's rewarding to try and slow down and hear His voice.
For those of you in the Maryville, TN area, if you're interested in hearing me speak you have an opportunity coming up in a couple of weeks! I will be speaking at the Business Women's Luncheon at First Baptist Maryville on Wednesday, December 12th at 12:00 (which, interestingly enough, isn't just for women in "business"...you do have to be a woman, though...). The topic they've asked me to speak about is "Caution, Obstacles Ahead: Finding Peace and Direction Through Prayer and Our Relationship with Jesus Christ". If you'd like more information or would like to reserve a lunch, call their office at (865) 982-5531.
I'm off to be still and know that He is God!

Hello Samantha! It was great hearing you speak today! I love your blog and look forward to reading your updates on a regular basis. I also love your blog name and how you discovered the meaning of yours. How beautiful!
My prayer is that God will give you the peace that passeth all understanding this Christmas. I know I need that too.
Blessings, Laurie Pullins
