Boot Camp with...


(above: Me and Sloan! Ziplines are my favorite!)

...all the ladies from Calvary Chapel Thousand Oaks and Skyline.

I just got back yesterday from the women's retreat in Ojai at the Forest Home Retreat Center. The theme was "Prepare to Advance." We studied the entire Bible...46 hours, 66 books, 6 speakers, 11 books each, 10 minutes per book...wow!

I was totally blessed to see how God has so intricately written history to the present and how His promises are still true for us today. But hindquarters were and still are a little bit sore from sitting for so long, but it was so worth it.

Below are more pictures from our fun weekend!
Enjoy...love Lindsey.


Cabin 1 Group photo...sleep? What's that?
Jenna, the trooper.



Sloan and Candace sang the theme song for Rocky for...
Kari, as she walked to meet her zipline destiny.



Michelle's face says it all - it was all for her kids and her hubby. I'm sure they'll be proud.
Sloan and Roxanne goofing off.



A bunch of women, a zipline, rock climbing wall,
and free time...look out.



Jeannette has 2 boys, can you tell?
So does Jenna...I love these girls.



In line to take the leap of faith on a zipline.
Scaling the rock wall.



Our two pastor's wives, Kari and Michelle.
Michelle with Candace...so cute.




Candace, Marla, Anjoli, Maribel, Tiffany, and Sloan.
Kari, Ingrid, Yvonne, and MaryKay.


Saturday morning, we hiked to the cross to pray and watch the sunrise. I feel so close to the Lord in His creation...a lake behind us, cows in the pasture below, roosters saying good morning, and the sun rising in the east. The heavens declare His majesty!
