I just got home from a wonderful retreat! The organization (for my internship) had their national conference/seminar and it was a really refreshing and refueling time. I got to meet workers from Scotland and other cities in England, as well as individuals with partner organizations. It was really encouraging to hear what God is doing throughout the nation!
Also, I was just really blessed by the chance to be in the English countryside! We were in a small English town...by small, I mean that it took about two minutes to walk along the high street! I've put a few pictures of the old English home where we stayed. I felt as though a ghost from Jane Austin's books might come around the corner!
The highlight of the retreat was a Coptic priest who came to speak to us. On Saturday, he spoke on the Hebrew word Selah. A pause. A rest. A break during which we can see God's work. He reminded us, "You must have a selah in your life." At another point in his devotional, he stated, "We need to believe our prayers. We need to see with the eyes of God, not with our own eyes."
