Pacem in Terris
Wow! This is a beautiful place! Thank you Lord for the woman and people who made this hermitage possible. Peace on earth! For that is what this retreat was: me in a little cabin with God in the middle of the woods. A basket of food and tea sustained me physically and a Bible, book Poustinia, and God sustained me both spiritually and emotionally. I went for walks through the prairie, the forest, and sat by the lily pad lake. I was rejuvenated by the serenity that permeates this beautiful retreat. I can only say that four miscarriages later, financial difficulties, and a life of managing depression I discovered that I am a hermit at heart. And I can live this calling out of my home! God's revelations are so perfectly timed. He is so awesome and knowing. I will always keep this place and these people in my prayers! Thank you!

It sounds wonderful. I'll have to try to do this...someday.
That just sounds serene. That is kind of the feeling I got when I went camping as a child. I miss it. And I see we are sort of in the same boots with financial difficulty, depression and miscarriages. I feel I've been making big steps forward, but still feel the pull of self-destruction. Maybe I need a retreat too? Please share more of your struggles and how you try to overcome them. I'd love to read it!
