Returned and reEngineering

Heather and I had an absolutely fantastic time at the Acts29 Retreat in Vail, CO this past week! An incredible blessing to be away and spend time with fellow church planters. Such an encouragement to hear how God is at work in various contexts through various methodologies, but all centered on the Gospel. So good. It also gave Heather and I space to think through how the past few months have been...to reflect on all the good that God is doing and to think proactively about what things need to continually be reengineered and adjusted. One of those things is my schedule. Nothing major, but things like trying to think ahead to Sydnie being gone at school all day starting in the fall. How do we maximize time spent as a family in the midst of a fairly busy schedule? These are conversations I enjoy having with Heather and am thankful for her insight and push-back (when needed). The past 6 months have been an absolute blast and an absolute blur. Definitely needed the get-away to think and process and simply enjoy what God has given us. The plane ride home was pretty productive as I got a chance to write out some of my thoughts and plans. We'll see if it translates from Moleskine to real life.
