Hope Is Where We're Starting From

We returned today from our Eastern Regional Retreat, with fellow YFC staff from Ontario and Quebec. We still have lots to process, and God is speaking to us in some pretty amazing ways. Our National Director closed with the following Scripture, and I haven't stopped thinking about it all day. This is such a good sense of both our cry to God, and our calling to reveal God's presence in the lives of our youth.

Psalm 90:14-17 (NLT)
"Satisfy us each morning with your unfailing love, so we may sing for joy to the end of our lives. Give us gladness in proportion to our former misery! Replace the evil years with good. Let us, your servants, see your work again; let our children see your glory. And may the Lord our God show us his approval and make our efforts successful. Yes, make our efforts successful!"

More to come on this I'm sure, especially as we reflect and listen to what God is speaking to us about The Door's ministry in Collingwood.

I'll leave you with some pictures of our latest adventure: dogsledding, one of the perks of hanging out with YFC staff.
