I am thankful that our wonderful mission organization, OMF, encouragers us to get the rest we need as missionaries. I recently went on a 5 day "personal retreat" where I soaked up quiet, sleep, solitude, rest and God's Word. This is the first time I had ever done that and I came back wondering why I hadn't been doing this for the past 20 years!! And, I am definitely being doing it for the next 20 years!
Some challenging books that started to read were:
I stayed in our favorite get-away place.
Our mission's Cabin-by-the-Sea.
I came away refreshed and rested...
and who wouldn't after spending 5 days gazing at clear skies and blue seas!
I am so thankful to my God
-who is my Strength-
and who grants me rest and refreshment along the way.
