Embracing a Staycation for Spiritual Renewal and Physical Rest

What a lovely season of ministering this has been. In the last ten weeks we have been to I believe seven different churches/camps/events. We’ve pretty much been home at the front end of each week, and then gone for a long weekend.

How kind the Lord is to grant these opportunities to serve Him, to allow for safe travels, to have the blessing of meeting so many precious people who have become sweet friends and have so much fun while serving! On top of all that, Dale and I get to do it together!

This gave us time to meander on “The scenic route,” one of our favorite things to do! It was such a fun adventure! Let me share some of the favorite places where we stopped, shopped and ate on our way their and back.

The Blurry Vision of People-Pleasing

I remember the day I picked up my new glasses.  I hadn’t had my prescription updated for three years.  At that time, I wore contacts most of the day, so it didn’t seem to affect me that much.  But I knew it was time to make the change when I had my exam and the doctor told me my eyes weren’t working together and that a prism would fix the problem. “Well, let’s do it!” I was fitted and the order was made.
