Well, my month in Alaska is halfway done. I guess I could look at it on the positive side... I have half of my trip still left! Today, I got some time alone and went on a bike ride along Anchorage's Coastal Trail. The trail runs about 10 miles along the coast. It took me through woods, along the Cook Inlet where I had a great view of the mountains, by a lagoon, and spat me out in downtown Anchorage. It was a beautiful ride. I feel like I got to see all that the city has to offer. I also had some time to enjoy God and His creation.
Tonight, the Richardsons and I are going to sleep out on a tarp on some rock that jettisons out overlooking an inlet where Beluga Whales spawn. Tomorrow, we all are going to take a Tram up a mountain and have a picnic at the top. I am quite looking forward to the next couple days. They will be the climax of the adventurey stuff I do here, as the Off The Wall team comes up on Sunday and our mission trip begins.
These past two weeks have been so refrshing for me. Spiritually and physically in particular. It's been a breath of fresh air to get away from the noise of life and enjoy relationships with people that I love. I have been asking the Lord to restore the joy of my salvation, and He has been starting to.
That was a short one, but that is all I got for now.
