Time Away
June 16, 2008It is amazing how God uses time away from the everyday to…
realign, refresh, and inspire us.
We had a chance to get away this weekend… Call it an overdue 8 year anniversary celebration… A preemptive Father’s Day weekend… A chance to dream of the future… A pause to heal from the present…
Whatever the case may be, it was time WELL NEEDED for Holly and me. We just spent 48 hours in Breckenridge, CO. WOW. I NEVER grow tired of this amazing geography. Just check out this view!!!!!!
We spent our time shopping, eating, and just soaking by the pool and hot tubs. What a perfect peaceful reprieve to this closing season of chaos.
For starters, we are HUGE restaurant fans. I LOVE new experiences, especially when it comes to food. One night, we stopped by a Sushi Bar. Haha… I had Sushi-style Sea Urchin (kinda tasted like strong, grainy sea water pudding :/), raw Prawns (um, with the heads on – yum), Octopus (tako), and broiled eel (unagi, MY FAV – almost like toasted sushi). The whole experience was so exciting and unique.
We spent probably close to three hours just sitting poolside talking. Talking about the past. Talking about the present. Sharing dreams and vision for the future. Breathing the air. Absorbing the sun. TAKING IT ALL IN. It was all just so… timely. needed. recharging. peaceful. replenishing. breathtaking. relaxing. restful. refilling. inspiring. burning… (um, we might have gotten a little TOO much sun).
What? Where was I? Oh yeah, inspiring - we shared dreams for the future; our heart to see the youth culture of Jubilee (and Denver) transformed by the presence of God. We discussed what God is calling us to do. We shared our fears of starting over. We talked about inventing the future. We envisioned what God will do.
And now… we are back. Full of new dreams and ideas… full of anticipation for the future… ready to let God lead… prepared to keep following… the future is a blank slate right now for us… BUT NOT FOR LONG. 
STAY TUNED…
Its gonna be a wild ride.
