TAKE 5 | Resting in Busy Seasons
Both of my daughters just finished up their fall semester at Grove City College. Even though finals week was busy, they still took Sunday off to relax, spend time in God's word, and catch up with us, practicing their habit of taking a Sabbath as Alan encourages us to do today.
TAKE 5 | Mini-The Gift of Unexpected Rest
Before camp even began, one out of town volunteer tested positive for COVID. We isolated them for the week, which led to a lot of unexpected rest! He learned the trip was not about what he could do, and that his role could be covered. God was not surprised, and probably enjoyed the extra attention He got that week as this person prayed, listened to sermons online, and just recuperated. Later his son joined him, and they got some extra unique father/son time together too!
TAKE FIVE | Mini-Retreat - A Good Sabbath
Has the unexpected caught you off-guard or given you the initial reaction of disappointment? That was my initial reaction to the postponement of our Spark 3 Retreat due to over 4 feet of snow. But knowing that God's plan is the best, I am grateful that despite these delays, our speaker, worship team, and 19 out of 21 volunteer are willing, able, and excited to serve 300+ teens from March 10-12. Is there somewhere in your life where you might be overlooking God's design and plan for your life? Let's discover how practicing the Sabbath can help us discover these areas in our lives.
