Hey everyone,
The first week of our break has flown by faster than I could have imagined. I spent a great deal of time just relaxing and taking it easy, it was a nice change of pace. I spent Christmas day with great friends, great food, and great conversation (both on the phone and in person). I’m grateful to have people around who care about making it feel just a little bit like we are home with our families… it will be a Christmas to remember, that’s for sure.
Tonight I’m taking off for the beach! Praise the Lord for the sand, sun etc… it will be awesome! We’ll be ringing in the new year with strangers, and I’m sure an equally interesting time. Anyway, we’ll be taking an overnight bus tonight, then spending the rest of the week swimming in tropical paradise.
Hope you all are well… even thought I’ve felt quite tired (still), I’m encouraged knowing that God is still God, and is still in control!
Blessings..
Meridith
Here’s our destination, Phi Phi Island:

I loved your song video – I watched it on Facebook. After all the snow we just had in Portland (just under 24″!) I must admit that I am a bit jealous of your vacation spot. 🙂 Enjoy your time off and rest up.
i miss your face and i think we should chat when you get a chance. enjoy your beautiful tropical new year break….
i love you!
