Refreshment

This is beautiful Pismo Beach from whence I've just returned. I attended a leadership conference with a team of people from my church. It was very hard to get away in the midst of parent conferences and everything I need to do to get ready for China, but I just knew that I needed to press through and have this time away for spiritual renewal. It was as awesome as I had hoped it would be. The worship, teaching, and time with others were a huge deposit into my spirit and that is just what I was hoping for before I embark on my journey. I hope that all that needs to be accomplished this week will be, and that I will just let go of the other things.

    Hi Christi,

    That sounds so nice. My husband and I went to San Diego last weekend and relaxed before China. Something about the beach/water that is so calming!

    I am back at getting things ready and feeling mighty jittery about everything. I am really excited also!

    Amazing! Nothing like recharging the batteries (whether spirit or soul!)

    Hope you're feeling better, you poor thing!

    I think that was just what you needed and now you can just let go and embark on the journey of a lifetime.
    I wish this week would hurry up and pass by!
