Weekend at The Glen


This year we went back to Colorado Springs for the annual Navigators' Physicians Discipleship Conference (soon-to-be-named retreat) at the Glen Eyrie Conference Center!  We were so blessed to be there last year and we were so grateful to attend again this year.  It truly is a place where the Lord is present and the power of Holy Spirit will change your heart.  If you ever have a chance to attend a conference or retreat at the Glen, you. should. go.  Here's a glimpse into our weekend and part of what we experienced while there...

Our drive there:
We got to meet up again this year with Tim and Anna Dietrich and road trip together!

Maybe not the safest picture... but cute nonetheless!

2nd Annual Dietrich/Thorpe road trip!

Scenery

Watching the snow outside our window - it was so peaceful!

 Scenery from our "Time Alone with God" - 
This is the part of the retreat when we all have a chance to spend some alone time with the Lord, praying, journaling, listening, reading the Bible, etc.  It is such a cherished time for everyone in attendance and something to look forward to every year.  The Glen is the perfect place to release all the distractions and focus solely on the Lord.

Last night

Sunday morning we were all making plans to come back again next year!  We are so grateful to be a part of this special group of people and to have this experience.  We look forward to more and more years at The Glen.
