The women at my church organized a Women's Retreat at MuTianYu Great Wall. This was a relaxing time away from the city. My good friend Lauren was the speaker, and she presented questions we women face.
(1) Am I ____ enough? (2) Am I too much? (3) Is God holding out on me? We were able to get into some really deep discussion groups, and God really worked on me through this.
After the first to meetings, I went to the Great Wall. This was my first trip to the wall, and Jason has never been. As you probably know... it's LONG.
One of my favorite parts of visiting the wall, was the way down.
That's right ... we took a toboggan ride. It was lots of fun. I suggest waiting at the top so you don't have to slow down for anyone.
After the great wall we met together some more, and relaxed. Simply sitting outside with clean air and grass was stupendous.
The next day we went for a walk and did some yoga. I like Pilate's and yoga, but this yoga ... was insane. It was crazy hard, and I even do P90X yoga. I was extra-embarrassed because I was on the front row, and the instructor kept saying "not like her". The instructor also chose an interesting way to breathe. Instead of a soothing exhale, she would go "AAHHH" with her tongue out like she was at a KISS concert.
We fit 3 sessions, the great wall, noodle making, hot tub, chatting, walking, and yoga into a day and a half. So we were exhausted.
