Over Spring break we took the kids on a road trip and went to North Carolina. We have a friend and fellow Barnabas missionary there that had offered his property for an MK retreat. It was a fantastic time of refreshment for us and for the MKs that were there. Garth and I did the devos together. We talked about how we come to God: empty or full? We looked at Psalm 23. What things in our life pull us out of the green pastures that God has for us? And we looked at John 15. How can we as Christians truly "abide in Christ"? We made so many great memories: hayrides, bonfires, ultimate Frisbee, a jump in their river, flips on the trampoline...
When the retreat was over we drove to northern Virginia and spent some time with Garth's sister and family in their new house. We took the kids sightseeing in D.C. and then began the trip home.
We are truly missing those MKs. It stirs up something in our souls when we are around them. What a true blessing and gift to be a part of so many kids lives.
