We ran into someone special while staying at our hotel for a Ladies Retreat this past weekend.
Iām taking you back old school right here!š ā¦. 80ās musicš
I really never listened to this band back when I first started going to church in the late 80ās. The ones I did hear were more harder rock. I preferredāand still doāsofter pop Christian music.
My friend in the pic grew up in church. She absolutely loved them and attended several of their concerts when she was a teen.
As we were sitting in the dining room Saturday eating breakfast, Sandra looked up and saw a man taking luggage out the front entrance. There was a woman who had followed and entered the dining area. Sandra saw the t-shirt she had on and knew who the man was.
But she had to ask. āWAS THAT DAVID HUFF??!!āš²
The woman replied with a big grin on her face, āYes it is!ā
When David came back in, I told her she had to get a pic with. And then later on when we stopped off to eat at a restaurant on the way home, his brother, Rayburnāwho is also in the bandāand his family were eating there also! Two divine appointments!
We were so blessed by this conference! God really met with us in a special way.
The theme was centered around taking care of our well-being. Our mental health and getting the rest our body needs.
They discussed topics like depression and anxiety and the aspects of meds when needed. This was a much needed topic for todayās world. So many are facing these issues alone. Suicide is on an all time high.
Shame is the main factor for not seeking help right away. We sometimes donāt want to admit we are struggling in our issues.
We are quick to take meds for blood pressure, heart problems, diabetes and other issues though, but people find it hard to understand the brainās well-being is just as important, if not more, as any other organ in their body.
So, I will reemphasize here the importance of taking care of yourself.
And casting all your cares on Jesus.
Because He really cares for you.
BELIEVE THAT, my friend!š„° āļø
Hope youāre having a wonderful week so far. God Bless!
ā”Heart Tokensā” 
A big AMEN in JESUS ā¤ and Congratulations on Your Four Years!!
My Website will be 10 years old in 2023!!
Love ā¤ Always and Shalom, YSIC \o/

Sounds like a very important topic that was addressed at the retreat. As you said Renee, very much needed to be spoken about within the church.
Congrats on four years of blogging š

I agree, Manu. Christians are not immune to issues. It should be addressed more.

Happy anniversary on your blog!! The retreat sounds like it was great! Such an important topic that I wish more people would discuss for encouragement, (so here it goesā¦.) I finally found an antidepressant/anxiety med combo that seems to be making a positive difference.
If our āfeel goodā hormones are out of whack itās sure hard to understand our emotionsā¦taking inventory of our mentality health makes a difference, even if it means adding a prescription med to our daily routine. I can better think and focus on God since finding the right rx and now that Iām feeling good my hope is being renewed through His word!!!!šā¤ļø
