Whether rainy or sunny, a day can be brightened by stepping into the great outdoors. There's something about wind-blown fresh air, songbirds singing, and beams of heat from the sun that soothes the soul. Last weekend I did just that, enjoying all of creation without the distractions of busy schedules, technology, and to-do lists.
The group of people I shared this time with are part of the Destiny Church network, mostly all students or young adults. Our activities spanned from life lessons and hill walking to worship and quiet times. We simply spent time together, enjoying all we have been blessed with and being challenged to dig deeper into God and life.
Life is not meant to be easy. It never was and never will be. Our only hope to find joy during our time on earth is to seek lasting friendships with each other and a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. In this comes fulfillment and purpose, ultimately joy!
I was blessed to spend time with some amazing people growing deeper in faith and understanding of what it means to live life as God intended for us, both individually and together as the body of Christ.
