Half Moon Bay
We went to Half Moon Bay for our pastoral retreat. It is only once a year that all the pastors get to leave the church and spend a whole week together seeking God for the coming year. We ate well. We shared some inspiring ideas for the upcoming year and got to pray for one another. Best of all, we had fun together. We are very thankful that God has allowed us to work with such a wonderful team of people.
Out of four days, we spend one afternoon for a personal retreat. My retreat of course was fishing the beautiful beaches in pouring rain. It was raining so hard that I couldn’t even keep my eyes open. Waves were so strong that I got knocked out at one point. Two hours of solitude, zero fish, an awesome day in my book.
The next day Sandy and I left the kids with one of our coworkers [Thanks Nat!], and spent the whole afternoon sitting on a beautiful beach, setting some personal goals for the next year. The whole time we watched thousands of seagulls fly by us. The picture you see is what we had before us for the whole afternoon. We love our kids, but we didn’t miss them at all during these two precious hours.
Abigail loved every minute of our time in Half Moon Bay. She worshipped, prayed and sat through all the meetings with us. I really believe that God has special grace for PKs and MKs. You can see more pictures here. I will upload more when I have time.
