This is a picture of our view on the ride home from the retreat this past weekend and a picture of the DTS group, except we are missing John and Carla! From left to right it is Jocelyn, Stanley, Eunice with adorable Sandile, me, and then Monique!
"When God loves us, He saturates us with Himself in order that our discovery of Him be real and legitimate. We each begin to discover how much beauty is around us, and we begin to notice His touch and His plan. Once we embrace Him and say 'I am soft now-- I don't only want you to be the God, I want you to be my God'-- that is when He gets aggressive and changes us. The unexpected twist is that He changes us by allowing us to change others. We follow His example. We get into others' lives. We are attentive. We help meet their needs and reveal to them God's beauty. This softens them until the point when they are prepared to have a true scar of love left behind." --From Flashbang by Mark Steele
