Sabbath Rest

PRAISE GOD! We got a sabbath rest today (TUESDAY) and it was very much needed! :) We got to sleep in a little this morning, and a group of us drove up to Northville to a Country Kitchenett for breakfast. This is after my car did not start twice this morning, so I had to be jump started by two different people. Yeah, that was interesting.

So after breakfast, we started to drive back towards the camp, and we took many scenic roads on the drive, looking for great look out points and views. We found a walking trail that went out onto a frozen lake, and me and 10 other LIFTers went out onto the lake and had a great time playing, racing, and walking in the snow and ice on top of the lake.

When we returned, we found out we missed the inauguration - but congratulations to our new president, Barak Obama!

We changed out of our wet shoes, and pants, and many of us went about our business this afternoon. However, Erin, Kim, Katie, and I thought it would be a great idea to do some ice skating. So we skated for an hour and a half on a covered ice surface that is used as a basketball court in the summer. It was a blast, and another great workout for the legs.

Tomorrow we will be snowshoeing up Blue Mountain late in the morning, and we won't be returning until late in the afternoon. It will be challenging and probably pretty stressful for some, but this group of LIFT students and leaders have really come alongside one another in encouragement and love.

Well, it's about dinner time. But I figured I'd update you all with what I did on my Sabbath Day of Rest! :) Hope you all had a great Tuesday. Must stick my face in the books after din din. Talk to you all soon! God bless!
