The beach vacation is over, but I am still in Va Beach with my grandparents until tomorrow. Maybe working outside in the hot sun isn't typical "relaxation" but I have loved getting to help Gramps with the mowing and the hedge trimming (well, the clean-up from the hedge trimming). If I'm dressed to get sweaty and dirty, I love it. Sometime, I want to bale hay.
I had a refreshing visit with Kirk Lehner (youth pastor of Colonial) and his wife last night. We've been friends since I was 4. He used to visit our house on his way to and from college about 15 years ago, and we have continued to stay in touch, especially with his visits to Northland during my time there. Being encouraged, challenged, and refreshed all at once is a welcomed but privileged opportunity. I think that I will learn to appreciate that even more as I go to a secular grad school.
God's promises, not only about Himself but also about His work, remain unchanging even during the midst of circumstantial transitions. How thankful I am for this, and for His complete sufficiency whether we choose to accept it or not. But what greater peace and joy and fulfillment results from a life that is satisfied with Him alone!
"My soul, wait silently for God alone, for my expectation is from Him. He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense: I shall not be moved." Ps.62:5-6
