Resting

Almost two weeks ago now, AJ and I spent the weekend retreating with leaders from our church on Lake Michigan's shores. Since AJ traveled so much in March, the time of rest was an incredible blessing. We ate amazing food, laughed, slept in, and enjoyed time of worship and fellowship with our spiritual family.

Here we are eating....we did a lot of that. Note: check out the awesome bait bucket light fixture which was made by some artists at our church....LOVE IT!

Proof that pastor Jason was actually resting.

Proof that God is the giver of all things good.
Including rest.
