Spring Break


Although I no longer attend school or teach, Spring Break still holds a place of special memories, lessons, and reminders for me.  There is a refreshing newness of mind and spirit when one steps away from routines for a time to focus on people, new adventures, and growth.

Spring Break is a time for…

* rest and relaxation
* completing projects
* investing in others
* mission trips
* adapting to flexibility due to weather/health/change of plans
* being intentional about time with family and friends
* breaking from the normal routine
* renewal and refreshment
* a change of scenery/location
* enjoying nature
* learning
* encountering different perspectives
* exciting adventures
* letting go of the ordinary to experience the extraordinary

Thankfully, taking time and experiencing a break from the everyday routine is not limited to a certain time or date on the calendar.  May what we do, learn, and experience refresh and renew us for the coming days.

Finally, brothers and sisters, rejoice! Strive for full restoration, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.
2 Corinthians 13:11

So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.
1 Corinthians 10:31

How good and pleasant it is
     when God’s people live together in unity!
Psalm 133:1

Praise the Lord. Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.
Psalm 106:1
