I cannot begin to say what the last few days mean to me. I've come back so deeply refreshed and ready to plunge into this week. Thank you a million times over, Brighams, for drawing me into your world once again for a weekend: you are channels of His grace and a delight to my heart!
These days included
- Lots of humidity in the air again (I loved it)
- Far too much delicious food (including grits, crab cakes and fried chicken)
- Beautiful walks through florida's history and nature
- The pleasure of meeting many wonderful people in Lindsey's world
- Music! I got to hear one of my most dearest students (and friends) demonstrate her progress
- A beautiful service and Sunday School hour at Lindsey's church
- Being soundly beaten in everything basketball by Lindsey and Emily
- Car washing, grocery shopping, gelato eating, watermelon devouring, green smoothie sipping
- Visits down to the pier to feel the wind ruffle our hair and watch the fish leap, shimmering silver in the evening sun.
- Getting caught in the most glorious rain storm and laughing together and twirling in the downpour with the pure, uncontainable joy of it
- Lots of family time, including a few wonderful chapters of a book I now have to purchase and read: Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus by Nabeel Qureshi
- Most of all, time to talk - really talk - and pray with Lindsey. I don't have words for what a gift those times are to me. I taste God's goodness and come away feeling lighter somehow and so deeply encouraged, challenged, and inspired.
