wilderness weekend

this past weekend all 18 volunteers spent 4 days in the mountains

and it was...
incredible
i don't know if incredible does it justice

the feeling of being the only people for miles and miles is so refreshing
the silence and quiet at night makes you tremble and a little afraid to speak
we were able to hike all throughout the mountains and swim in the rivers
my favorite was waking up at sunrise to climb up the nearest mountain to do our devotional together. the view just doesn't get old
God is truly creative and majestic and constant and HUGE

we had many moments to just

be still

and rest

it was definitely a needed weekend for us volunteers to spend time together without feeling the pressure of time and to spend time alone with God- to be able to sit on a rock with no one around and be able to speak to the one who created all i am seeing....
incredible.
