Lake Junaluska


This past weekend I was blessed to attend a Ladies Retreat with my friend Kristen at Lake Junaluska (near Asheville, NC). It's only an hour and 1/2 from Knoxville. We drove over on Friday afternoon and stayed until Sunday morning. It was such a wonderful time of renewal and praise to God. The lake and surrounding area was just beautiful!


The big white building in the background of the picture below is where all of the sessions for the retreat were held. Each morning, Kristen and I would go running along the lake and through the neighborhoods. It was so peaceful and beautiful!


This was a wonderful opportunity to get to know Kristen better. She and her husband and little girl just moved to Knoxville from San Antonio, TX. We had so much fun together!


On Saturday, we had a few hours of free time, so we headed into Asheville for some shopping! Shawna and Gaines were able to meet us in town to hang out for a while (they live in nearby Hendersonville, NC). It was so good to spend some time with her again! It's amazing to me how much Gaines is growing. He is such a precious boy, it's always a blessing to be able to spend some time with them.
