An unexpected Retreat!



 After the "one Day"  at our church and running in between schools, I felt completely burn out.
My only hope and silent prayers for the passed few days were nothing else but to retreat. Though such thoughts and hope was a need it seemed impossible in that moment and too good to be true but the God who knows my thoughts and needs was busy preparing something beyond what I myself could never have thought of or even imagined. Through a high school friend and my brother, He gave me the retreat I was longing for, a time away from the city, the noise and everything else and
within a day I was able to travel to the coast and stay in a fully paid accommodation. Since this was such a great gift, I couldn't help it but to bring along one of my student to share this blessing with. while there, I got the rest I needed, unload and to be still. Knowing that I have a difficult time turning off my mind sometimes even when I am away from school, it was really nice to be able to switch off for a while and just live in the moment. To refresh, revitalize and also have the opportunity for more time spent in prayer and contemplation, and rekindle my relationship with God. It was surely a gift by grace!
God's provision and kindness can some times be mind blowing and this was one of those mind blowing and speechless moments!
