Have you heard God calling you?  I did.  It happened one day in church when I heard about the Welcome Weekend.  It was so quiet that I decided to ignore it.  However, that whisper became louder and more insistent.  Each week, I heard God calling me to the retreat weekend.  I finally got the message…
