We were able to take a much needed vacation down to St. Simons Island for the 4th of July. The last few months of adjustment and job searching have left a weary imprint upon our souls. The Lord was gracious to allow Michael to come to a wonderful "stopping point" on his project at work so he could totally relax and enjoy his vacation. We spent time with family, played games, watched movies, rode bikes, tried out my home made sunscreen at the beach, ate ice cream, grilled out, and watched fireworks of course. Sweet contentment filled the air as we trickled into the kitchen each morning to find fresh coffee and a big bowl of fruit awaiting. The wind chimes blowing on the front porch called our names as our Bibles and journals waited to be pored over. Baby giggles filled the air as Grammie, Dado, and Grandmama gooed and gahed to their hearts' content.
We praise the Lord for this time of rest and refreshment. Michael and I both felt sorrow in our souls as we drove home and awoke to a normal Monday morning routine the next day. In a phase of much unknown, the "knowns" of vacation are very satisfying. But we thank God for the time to refuel and we look forward to a day when refueling will not be needed and all will be well as we sit before the throne of our Almighty, completely refreshed forevermore.
