This past weekend we had our annual (and final) Via Christus Retreat. It was a strange time in that the church is wrapping up soon and a number of the small group we have left will be moving all over the country within the next month or so. So naturally we spent a lot of time reflecting on such things this weekend. Our theme was “Walking by Faith” and we focused on looking back at our spiritual journey and looking forward in hope to where God is taking us next. Many of us are facing significant life changes very soon, so time for prayer and spiritual reflection on those changes helped us process.
We also had a great time together. I of course enjoyed just hanging out on the couch for most of the time. But we played board games, ate lots of yummy food, and just had a good time together. I’m still trying to recover from an emotionally intense and rather sleepless weekend though (pregnancy + camp beds = no sleep).
