Last week our entire household was fighting a cold or allergies (maybe a little of both?). The pollen has beenvisible as sheets of bright yellow on cars, sidewalks or parking lots. All three of us wake up and sneeze for a good hour before going on with our day. That with being tired tricked us into thinking we were sick when in reality, it was most likely our reaction to unknown pollens.
Towards the weekend, we decided to trek up the freeway to see our old community and friends in Daniel Island. Saturday night felt a little bit like Christmas with the anticipation of seeing friends and going to our old church. We had a hard time sleeping as we knew we needed to get up at 5am in order to prepare for our 7am departure time.
At 9am we arrived just in time for the service. Oh, how it was so nice to be surrounded by friends and sing songs in the contempory service! The music leader played his guitar and sang with the other singers to bring the congregation to a level of worship that was refreshing and soul searching. Words really can't describe the experience. Truly an uplifting experience!
Hugs, laughter, reconnection with people we haven't seen in a couple of years was just fabulous! (Sabrina loved meeting some of her old baby friends and ran around with them after church. We also met a new 9 month old boy for the first time!) We felt blessed, refreshed and so encouraged by our day's journey. We hope to go up there again and have friends come visit us soon. Next time we will remember our camera!
