Can You Feel It?

Hey all!!!

We are 23 hrs and 37 minutes from the road. Hope you are ready to roll! Some thoughts before we embark on a new chapter in this adventure we call SummitServe...

Here is the itinerary for our service work during the week. This can always change, but per Spider, this is our plan as of now...

Sun: @ Rocky Ridge Music Center 2 – 4. Helping clean cabins and prepare for newly arriving campers.

Mon: @ YMCA livery 9 – 3. Repairing vandalized breakfast ride site and trail work. (Lunch will be provided by the Y)

Tues: @ Wind River Ranch 9 – 3. Grounds work. (Lunch will be provided)

Wed: @ YMCA doing rock work 9-12 & staining chairs from 1-4pm. (Lunch will be provided by the Y)

Gonna be a good week of work, with some time to play as well! 

Forecast for Estes Park next week: 

Highs 65-74 degrees, lows in the low/mid 40’s. Colorado weather! Be prepared.

As always, we’d love you to follow along on here, Twitter, Facebook, etc. More than that, you are active as a participant when you pray for and with us while we are gone. Some things on my mind this morning...

- pray for wise choices - diet, sleep, personal interaction (being patient and engaging with everyone - to practice the fruit of the Spirit in all our relationships), to ‘make moments’ while being careful and cautious in the mountains.

- travel mercies - for the weather, drivers, vans

- for our overall health in the sun, altitude, and how we adjust to it.

- for us to engage this week, to leave behind the stuff that distracts and to be in the moment fully.

- to be ‘Moment Makers’ - long story, the title of a book I am somewhat intrigued by. The premise is that life is a series of opportunities to make moments, to make a difference, and that we have a choice to let those either pass or to embrace them and walk away with moments that stand in our minds and the lives of others. Pray this trip would be full of moments that we choose to engage and that will leave a lasting mark for the glory of Christ in the lives our students, leaders, and the Estes Park community!

Alright, that’s it. More to come tomorrow eve...
