Church Retreat

Went on the Church retreat this past weekend. Melissa and I took the high schoolers to Saugatuck, MI late Friday night, arriving at about 3am. The next morning came early but it was a fun day out at the beach. Always good to get away, and this group of kids are absolutely hilarious. I was constantly laughing.

The theme for the youth was based on the verse, "Be still and know that I am God" -Psalm 46:10. In Hebrew "be still" is in essence to "be weak, let go, let your hands fall." A great thing to remember - we are not in control - quit doing it on your own - you were not meant to - trust in your heavenly father. A great message for me to hear, and to teach the youth.

Melissa and I got home at 6pm, at 6:30pm we intended to take a nap, but ended up sleeping until the next morning!
