DOV1 Retreat Reflections
I'm not quite sure how to respond to the 'headline'. Perhaps with some further headlines. Anyone who is on this path and following this process, will remember the DOV1 Retreat all their life - they just will. It was that impactful. So in no particular order,

The God who has led us thus far will lead us on.

LP&WL Meeting ✅
Lots of comparisons of LP training and holding down jobs at the same time...Yes, but 20 years ago without 13 hour days and 160 emails? I am tired. There’s been a lot of over sharing of todo lists and busyness today (not in this meeting, just generally and
