Reflections....Joy in the Journey

During the last month we spent a lot of time together , we ate together, we cycled together, we slept together/sharing rooms,  we had devotions together, etc. etc.

On one of our last evenings together, after Joanne read verses from scripture that were dear to her, we shared  what this trip had meant to each of us  – it was a personal journey  - could we do the cycling/driving/navigating  required to reach our destination each day?   We all made it to our destination daily.



 It was  a journey with God especially when we saw His beautiful creation all around us – we were privileged to see flowers in abundance….and the mountains and the ocean….we could sing, "This is my Father's world, He shines in all that's fair, in the rustling grass, I hear Him pass, He speaks to me everywhere..."



It was a journey with each other – living in such a tight community for a month isn't what we are used to - we were able to encourage each other, appreciate each others gifts,  bless each other, praise God together and the list goes  on. 

 There truly was JOY IN THE JOURNEY!
