That's how far it is from the river to the lake.
The river = home.
The lake = work.
We're not entirely sure how long we'll be renting this amazing house on the river, so you just might want to stop by sooner than later. We're so glad our camp friends were able to check it out for us and secure it on our behalf. There are still a few boxes floating around here and there, but tonight was all about getting our emails finalized and the wireless running (amazing what one letter or number can do in that process).
Below is a view from the new dock the landlords built over this past summer. When I accepted the position at Camp we were not sure what our accommodations were going to be for this year. All I knew is that God had always provided for us in the past, and He would provide what we needed. At that point I wasn't aware that this is what He had in mind! We are grateful for His provision and we'll enjoy it while we can.
And if that wasn't enough, He thought we might need this so we could host many a dinner too. Far fewer upper cabinets than we had previously, but oh the counter space and pull out drawers! And yes, that is a five burner gas (propane) range back there. We look forward to feeding many mouths from this kitchen.
Then there's the lake; the place I go to work now. I mean really, someone pinch me! Oh sure, I don't get to sit around and stare at the lake all day by any means, but it's there, surrounded by grand mountains, wildlife and nature. I've always enjoyed God's beautiful creation and I'm not sure how else to explain it than to simply say that the special place in my heart which yearns for nature is now at peace.
So to and fro, from river to lake, lake to river, my routine will be from here on in. At any given time I wont be too far from these two places...except maybe fixing a toilet here and there.
