Before I moved to Minot, I interviewed at two churches in Colorado. God had something else in mind for me, but I really wouldn't mind living in Colorado. What a wonderful place for you to REST as a family! Sounds awesome!Tara Ulrichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02619365758739247929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14878984.post-64578548360853968892015-09-23T10:23:04.373-05:002015-09-23T10:23:04.373-05:00Thank You!

I look forward to it every year and then when it is over, I am sad that it is over. Luckily I haven't finished my annual Shutterfly book for that trip. So I will get to relive it as I work on that scrapbook. Utah sounds like a great trip. It really was a good chapter on rest. So important for all of us to take time to rest.

It's a beautiful place to REST!

Great post. Loved it. Thanks.

The Rocky Mountains look amazing. And I especially love your last paragraph. I think rest gives us space to listen to God and it can help make our words more effective and make sure we are sharing what he wants us to.Carlyhttp://lifeinthespaciousplace.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14878984.post-26922885959450710652015-09-21T16:03:00.121-05:002015-09-21T16:03:00.121-05:00I love the Rocky Mountains also!

Neat that you go there as a reprieve from ministry and to appreciate time away from technology and your everyday stuff/people. I love traveling for that reason too! We'll be heading to Utah this Thanksgiving so I look forward to that. I haven't been there in nearly a decade so the mountains will greet me with grandeur as well. We live in FL so all flat here! <br /><br />This was a good chapter on rest. It really is necessary for people of all ages! I hope you have a restful work week.
