Kayaking and Canoeing

This weekend I was able to get away from school and take a break. After taking 6 exams, turning in several assignments, and feeling a little overwhelmed by all the work I had to do in so little time, I was so thankful for the guy in my Bible Study that invited us all out to his family home near a lake. I hadn't been near water for so long and it was so relaxing to hang out with fun people, go kayaking, canoeing, worship, food, and fellowship. The whole weekend was great!

I really needed to laugh and enjoy God's creation. I loved being out on the water and just looking at all God has made. It was a gorgeous day too! The sun was shining and the water was freezing...but we still enjoyed splashing each other, talking, and relaxing.

Evenings were spent singing and reading God's Word together. I always walk away feeling like I should be spending more time reading the Bible and praying - such a great group!

We also played Cranium and I discovered sculpting is not my fortee, but it was fun to see non-medical skills come out of the group - like acting or drawing.

After worshiping with the group, I now want to learn to play the guitar...maybe I can squeeze that in with everything else - who knows?

Tonight I met my parents for a small dinner and dessert for my mom's birthday. Driving in the snow wasn't fun but it was great to see them and enjoy a good dessert.

Now I am back at home and need to study. Taking a break does have its' draw backs - catch up time...
