Tres Dias

Wow. What. an. experience.

It is so hard to put into words what Tres Dias means to me.

David and I were sponsored by a God-send couple....John Mark and Charice Curtis. They did they best job they could to explain to us what it was...but intentionally left many details out so that we could experience it on our own. David went the first weekend (last weekend) and I just got back late last night from my weekend.

While David was gone, I prayed for him and thought of him often....but really had no clue what was truly going on. All I know is that from the moment he got back Sunday night (at 12:09am) he has been a changed man, husband, and father. There is just a different heir about him that is very hard to put into words. He is at peace, free-er, passionate, on-fire, just plain happy. He said that Tres Dias was "one of the top five experience of his life".......that in itself says enough.

While giving my "talk" last night I said that Tres Dias for me is summed up in 4 words.
Giddiness
Freedom
Peace
Friendship

Let me explain a little....

1. Giddiness- I am just so giddy at how awesome God is... and how incredibly amazing his grace is for me and my family. I am so excited to see what God has in store for David and I.
2. Freedom- I am truly free from my past. All burdens have been nailed to the cross and laid at the feet of Jesus. I am not picking them back up (like I have always done) I am free from any drama, mistakes, hardships, burdens that I have ever experienced and am not looking back. I "nailed it" and now I am looking forward.
3. Peace- I am going to let go of any anxiety I have about David and I conceiving a child. I am going to put full trust in God that he will bless us and let go of any emotions that were keeping me from peace. Got is in CONTROL and he knows the desires of my heart.
4. Friendship- I made new friendships, and grew closer in my friendship with Charice during my weekend...and I plan to watch those friendships flourish and create many more memories with those precious women and their families.

I am truly on fire right now. So much was made clear to me and God's grace was made overwhelmingly obvious to me during the past 3 days.

David and I plan on serving for Tres Dias in the future and sponsoring other couples ourselves. I have made folders for both David and I to keep all of the heart-felt letters of encouragement we received from our friends and family.

Tres Dias has bettered mine and Davids relationship with each other and more importantly with Jesus Christ. I can't wait to continue to see how it blesses our lives.

Truly blessed,
