A Life of Gratitude

  Our weekend healing retreat, Alive Again, was held at Joshua Cox Inn in Westfield, NC. It was absolutely amazing. I can't even express how grateful I am for the opportunity to watch these women begin to experience the freedom and healing God desires for them. The women who helped make this retreat happen are so incredibly special to me. God handpicked each volunteer which made the weekend absolutely perfect.

Even with obedient mask-wearing and the vaccine, I am currently battling Covid-19. I began noticing symptoms last Friday. I went to six urgent care centers on Saturday morning, being turned away by all of them because they were all at max capacity. I was able to get an appointment for Sunday morning. My chest pain, low pulse ox, and cough were reason enough for the doctor to test me for Covid. She prescribed an inhaler and antibiotics to help my breathing. I've been laying in my bed for five days now, which is highly irregular for me. I have absolutely no energy, every muscle aches, taking deep breaths is painful, and I cannot taste or smell anything (which is incredibly odd I might add.) My
