The McMillins

Gretchen was gone this past weekend to go to the Beth Moore Conference. She left Thursday afternoon and came back Saturday afternoon. She had a great time. She loved having a girls' weekend with NO children. They stayed up late, went swimming, went shopping, ate and of course enjoyed the Beth Moore conference. They had an awesome time worshipping God with 18,000 other women. It's almost a glimpse of what heaven will be like. Just seeing all those women raising their hands and singing to God. It was an amazing sight.

She missed Corey and Zach a lot. What mother and wife wouldn't miss their family.? It's always good to get away from the family for a couple of days. It's so important for women to spend time AWAY from their children, for those who are always with them. It's also healthy for the children. Of course, Zach didn't mind too much. He got Corey all to himself. :) Gretchen really didn't want to leave at first b/c she knew how much she would miss both of them but Mothers often have to force themselves away in order to get the time they need for themselves, no matter how much they know they'll miss their family.

God was definitely at work at the conference. Ten people became christians (dedicated their life to Christ). Beth Moore is so funny and really motivating. She really digs into scripture and teaches you the greek words from the original text of the Bible. Corey & Gretchen both LOVE that kind of teaching.
