Candy and Rest

Hello all you people who keep yourself updated through this wonderful blog,

This was a good week here at Jonah despite the fact there was no retreat group here, but God still used us. Wednesday night we had the classic Harvest Festival in our gym complete with carnival booths, games, snacks, and the famous cake walk. I love cake walks. It was a great way to celebrate fall and give kids the opportunity to eat much candy, play great games, and dress up. Kids love dressing up. Don’t worry, I am sure they had more candy on Friday too.

One of the great things about this weekend was the fact we were able to take a break and rest a little bit. It is kind of a rare concept around here, the idea of taking a break and not doing anything but what is restful. Jeff and Beki went to the women’s retreat on the coast and had a great time of relaxation and learning. It’s ok, Jeff was the Bus Driver he didn’t actually attend Women’s retreat, that would be weird.

Soka had some friends and family up for part of the weekend and it was a sweet chance for him to rest and visit with people he misses a lot. They were able to do some cool activities and just look at Jonah and see what kind of ministry we are and how God uses us. Also, they just had fun which is good.

So that was the week, a little bit of community fun, and well placed rest. Don’t forget, God invented rest and life is not about working constantly trying to get everything done. God made the whole world and rested for a day, Jesus sealed salvation and sat down at the right hand of the Father, so take a break and rest because God set up the world that way.

Proud to do Kingdom Work,

Soka
