Retreats are such a great idea. I get so caught up in everything that is going on in my life, whether it be school, relationships, sports, or anything it just gets crazy. I try to take every opportunity to get away and truly retreat from the stress that this world is filled with. The best thing to me is simply turning off my cell phone and getting away from the internet, and have time to build new relationships and focus on worshipping God with my life. Retreats are great because they provide time for one on one with God, which is something that I need alot more of than I actively pursue. I think I am surrounded by people all my life, but if I just look at Jesus I clearly see that he was in much higher demand than I am, he was always spending time with people, but he always had time to retreat and pray with God.
Luke 5:16: But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.

- Hey! My name is Josh Willis (or McGee to many) and I am a Junior at Lipscomb University. I absolutely love going to school at Lipscomb and the opportunities it continues to bless me with. I try to dream big, but more importantly trust God. His plan is always right even though I find it difficult to accept at times. I know he has bigger things planned than whatever I can dream up!
