I hope you all had an awesome Easter break. I certainly did!.
We decided to go away to Sandspit about one and a half hours north from Auckland (the major city in New Zealand). I am so glad that the weather forecast was wrong – it was amazingly sunny ALL weekend – a bit different from hail, rain and thunderstorms. Even in this day and age, we can’t out guess God – he decided to give us a gorgeous sunny long weekend.
We had no TV and no email – perfect! I only took the basics – books, books , books -Oh there was just enough room for some clothes and food! I had a mini – spiritual retreat – read about how I do this – it is a pdf file called -Taking Time to Pause – FREEBIE!
It was extremely benefical. You can read more about my spiritual retreat in the latest post of the Becoming Beautiful group – click the join button on the right hand side.
Well the countdown has began – only 5 sleeps until my duathlon and wouldn’t you know it – I have fallen ill with a cold virus. So not much training is going down. It is times like this that I have to remember that all things work together to those who love the Lord. I am still searching for the good in my cold 
Have a great week!
