Hi Tom, I had to write a speech for a CEW Reunion this weekend. I just wanted to share some highlights with you. Miss you and Love you always...little sis Most people say they have a life changing experience after attending a CEW. I had a life changing experience that brought me to a CEW. In 2012 I lost my dad to heart disease. The day after the funeral, I got a call that my brother Tom clasped and was being rushed to the hospital by ambulance. I figured it was from exhausting of losing our dad….. but I was wrong. My healthy 50 year old brother died 24 hours after burying my dad. My brother Tom was a huge influence in my life. I envied his life commitment to attend church weekly and his strong faith in God. After a death in the family, most people are mad at God for taking their love ones away. I actually turned to God to help me through this difficult time in my life. My sister Rhonda and I attended a Grieving Counseling session at Sinsinawa Mound. When we were there, I picked up a brochure and looked through the retreats and there it was….the dates for the 2013 CEW. I knew it was a calling from God and it was my time to attend. My sister and I also shared a private room so we had some sister bonding time with memories of talking, trying to laugh quietly,and me keeping her up all night with my snoring. AT this year’s CEW I convinced my niece Shelly, my sister-in-law Tina, and my close friend Sheila to attend. I hope it made an impacted on their lives like it did on mine. Since the CEW Journey two years ago my faith is stronger than ever before in my life. I attend church regularly. I read daily devotions and Ive actually picked up the bible and read most of it. My life is less stressful now. Ive learned to accept the choices my children make in their lives because I know God has a plan for them. I have also learned to let go and let God take charge of my own life I can actually say I’ve never had such a rewarding weekend as I did attending a CEW.
