Seek and you will find

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened." Matthew 7:7-8
A couple weeks ago, I saw the sign floating around campus for the women's retreat, and for the first time in my life I had this sense of need to attend it. So I filled out the paper work and handed it in... then for a week I thought, and rethought, and thought again about my decision to attend ...maybe it wasn't such a good idea after all. I mean, lets be honest with ourselves, the title of the retreat was "the courage to follow"... and we all know I don't do that very well. I don't do the vulnerability thing and I don't like the thought of a bunch of perfect people seeing my imperfections. Anyway, I paid the money, I didn't want to waste it, so I went (this has nothing to do with the story except that it gives background ha)

The speaker was Candace Corwin, a woman who was the farthest from perfect and only came to know God because she was trying to get a boy (riddle me that, right?).
