I went to the OCI Reliance Retreat Center again this last weekend. What an awesome place that is! Once you get away from all the distractions of society, and out in the quiet of nature, you can hear God so much better!
I decided to get up early each morning, before any of the 45 people were awake and spend some time with God. I had such an awesome time walking by the frozen pond, seeing the birds wake up and seeing the sun come up over the cabin early in the morning. There were so many awesome things that I saw. I saw frost on the grass that was frozen in place around the edges of the pond that was so intricate that it was absolutely a total work of art. I saw patterns in the ice on the pond that was amazing. I saw the moon over the cabin that was so clear that it looked like I could just hop in a little plane and go fly and land on it! I believe that God put those things there for me to enjoy, knowing that I needed the extra lift, and the extra assurance that He was with me.
In the business of the weekend, I dont know of anyone else who took that special time to get up early and enjoy these small, but amazing things. I wished that there was someone there who i could have enjoyed it with, but maybe God put those things there just for me to enjoy. (Well, I know He did, since no one else saw them.)
It was a great weekend.
