Last weekend we had the privilege of taking about 35 college age folks camping in San Diego. We love camping and we love the beach so this was a win win for us at the get go. On top of being in a great place we got to be with some pretty awesome people which made it even better.
These people that the Lord has given us to do ministry with are funny, passionate, caring and are blessings to us. Whenever we have a weekend full of ministry things we expect to come back exhausted on all counts but this weekend we returned home feeling uplifted and encouraged. This summer Kyle is teaching through the Psalms in college group and this weekend we looked at Psalm 39 and 40.
It was awesome to watch this group be challenged to be truthful to Yahweh in prayer by lamenting to him at times. We also had a neat time hearing how Yahweh has been faithful to each of us as we sat around the fire and voiced times in our lives where we witnessed God’s faithfulness. Both Kyle and I got to have some great conversations with people as they shared their hearts and encouraged us.
The beach was glorious and so was the weather. San Diego is a place my mom would take us to a lot as kids to vacation so it was extra special for me as I reminisced and missed my family.
We brought our camera but I totally did not take any pictures. But for those of you that are visual I borrowed some photos from facebook…
I can’t say enough about our time in San Diego, we had a blast!
Love that the Lord blessed and uplifted you and them! Love you guys!
ReplyDeleteI grew up in San Diego and loved the beaches. Hmmm, Hotel Del Coronado, reminds me of a certain engagement party.
