It’s been years since only 2 of us travelled together. We planned for, then cancelled a staycation… but who knew God had something better in store.
By offering us this ministry opportunity, He knew we wouldn’t say no.
We both saw this as “work,” but it was the film producers who said, “See it as a couple’s retreat. That’s the mindset we want you coming into the shoot.”
When we came, I had no expectations.
Who would have known we’d be put up next to the Pacific Ocean, home to beautiful whales this season.
I can’t help but feel this is God’s 10th wedding anniversary gift to us.
We keep thinking we’re the ones serving Him & others, but in fact, He’s the one blessing us more than we could ever give to anyone.
To those of you who had sent me messages of encouragement when I was stranded in Singapore about God having “surprises in store” for us, thank you.
When the film producers told me they booked this Inn by the beach for us because God spoke the word “Retreat” to them, I had goosebumps.
They did not need to do this.
I have been going on overdrive for 3 years, struggling with one burnout cycle to the next.
God knew how to “get” me- by inviting me to a ministry work opportunity for filming. Only to hijack us with this beautiful retreat as we recount our lives together.
If you think God is absent, think again.
He is always working, waiting, watching.
