I am packed but just not quite so sure I am ready.
I am headed out for three days to pretty much the unknown with about 40 ladies from church. Some I know well, some not at all. We are going on an ACTS retreat.
The letters stand for Adoration, Community, Theology. and Service.
I have heard about this retreat and have been asked to attend for years but the time has just never seemed right. Tonight I am off.....
clothes, pillows, sheets, my bible, another book, and a flashlight.
Of course, the usual toiletries, a towel and washcloth....
BUT
No phone and no alarm clock.

That is a big YIKES to me.
My phone is an extension of my body. Don't look at me like that. Yours probably is too.
We are not tethered to a phone on a curly cord attached to a wall anymore. A phone goes where we go...we do not leave home without it. I am fine leaving it in my purse, and I leave it in the car during church but to leave it for three days.....is scary.
I have no idea what to expect. I have heard they feed you well and if you go you will never regret it. Had I known about the phone before hand I amy have thought about this more carefully. BUT, I have paid my money so I am going to commit.
If I can be phone free for three days I will be a changed person.
Oh goodness I am worried!
