Every now and then God does some things to remind us just how much He loves us. A group of people at Elevation Church just shouted Kathy and me 3 nights up at O’Reilly’s guest house in the mountains (Picture is our view). What a blessing!! I love the church when it all works properly. As Pastors normally we are the ones looking out for others well being but this has been a real blast for us.
These rooms over look an amazing view. This morning we went on a 2 hour hike followed by a quick swim in freezing water and some lunch, then its rest, reading and relaxation. How quickly you begin to sense God in a fresh way when you are out of the continual pressure of a growing church.
The best thing you can do in any part of life is to “get out of it so you can work on it”. Get out of pressure, phone calls, and decisions so you can evaluate your marriage, family and relationship with God.
Matthew 14:23 (NLT)
Afterward he went up into the hills by himself to pray. Night fell while he was there alone.
Solitude shouldn’t be something we fear, it’s actually our friend. Being alone away from all the distractions (no phone or TV here…I am missing the football) just the 2 of us and an opportunity to tune our relationship and our hearts back into the right station. Thank you

Hey you two LOVE BIRDS!!! :)
Enjoy the break, you deserve it! God is busy taking this ministry and church to new hights and we just need to be ready, healthy and eager for what is about to come!
So enjoy the rest, the hikes and the solitude, cause soon you'll be back and working like mad to fulfill God's calling on your lives!
We envy you and we're so jealous, but in a good way! :) Wish we could join you!
Love you two!
Blessings,
Derek and Michelle Adkins
