One of the most important things I’ve learned about myself over the years is that I can tend to overextend myself. I’m a doer, and I tend to run at a fast pace. So, learning the disciplines of slowing down and practicing Sabbath rest are habits I’ve had to learn. Each August our family chooses to take a decisive break to relax, reconnect, refuel, and refocus. We relax by getting out in nature and decompressing. We reconnect as a family, investing in one another and our extended family. We refuel through spiritual practices and reading. And we refocus through study and planning for the year ahead. So, we’ll be away for a few weeks for those purposes. And the good news is we have an exciting lineup of guest preachers that you won’t want to miss!
- Pastor Josue Reyes, August 13
- Rev. Stephen Farish, August 20
- Dr. Erwin Lutzer, August 27
- Pastor Larry McCarthy, September 3
Let’s be praying for each of these speakers, that God would speak to us through them. And please be praying for our family as we relax, reconnect, refuel, and refocus.
Remember, you are loved, more than you know!
I will miss learning and hearing ur emotions of how GOD WORKS IN AND THROUGH OUR LIVES—HIS GREAT GOODNESS—BY HIS UNFAILING LOVE, HIS FAITHFULNESS, & HIS MERCIES THAT ENDURES THROUGHOUT ALL GENERATIONS FOREVER AND EVER!!!
A family who learn, IN CHRIST JESUS, to relax, reconnect, refuel, and refocus is a family that stays together; because JESUS IS THE CENTER OF THEIR CIRCLE OF LIFE —w/prayer, petitions and thanksgiving !!! EnJOY each other’s gifts with fun and laughter !!! I will pray for safe travels, your requests, and your
safe return !!!
