I miss the pitts(burgh)

So i went to a retreat this weekend out near pittsburgh. A friend and I drove over 7 hours to go spend the weekend away from every day life and have an encounter with God. Man was God ever big this weekend. The thing I rememberr most was the prayer labrynth. I was in a dimly lit area. After going through several experiences I was left with a vision of an inprint. A very specific one. One that you could try to fill. but would never truly fill. the imprint of my being. one that only God can fill. I laid there crying for at least 15 minutes over welmed by the thought that God dreamed about me like a lover. Before he breathed me into life God dreamed about making me. About how I would smile. And how i would cry. About how i would dance like there was no tomorrow at the sound of his name and how I would struggle through the hard times and be faithful to a Him who created and loves me. He dreamed about making me.. Its amazing.. that God could love me. a sinner like me. sooooo much.. God is good .. Sooo good. Have a great day.. but take a minute. shut off the lights. the tv. the music. just kneel by your bed side. quiet your life for just a bit.. shutt off the cell phone .. some one else wants to talk.. spend some time talking to God.. Then open his word. read and listen.. Open your heart. Let God in to places that are usually conjested with the worlds crap ( skubalin) and He will fill those cracks.
