It was great to meet up again with the Class of 2006/07 for a retreat at the ‘House of the Open Door’ and to spend time sharing the stories of our lives since being together at College.
Four years on this incredible group are as determined as ever to keep pressing on and we encouraged one another to keep putting one foot in front of the other in pursuit of new ground.
We celebrated some of the mountaintop experiences since leaving college (marriages, new jobs, churches planted, children born) and also God’s presence in the valleys amidst life’s pain, difficulties and challenges (the death of loved ones, divorce, unfulfilled dreams).
The testimony of many was that times of uncertainty and transition become places of transformation as we continue to wrestle with God and that he honours us in the struggle as we cling to him. I’m grateful that our lives remain intertwined and can’t imagine better companions for life’s journey of ups and downs.
