Retreat

Friends

I am back from taking my kids, the youth from my church, on their annual retreat.  We went to the Blackfoot Mountains in Idaho.  It was a wonderful time.  We played in the water, skiing, tubing, wakeboarding, kayaking, paddle boarding.  We tubed down a river (no photos of that as I didn't think my camera would survive).  We played games, ate, camp fire, devotions, prayer, sharing, and so so much more.  I am exhausted, but it is the good kind.  Here is a short video of our fun.



Part of our retreat we focused on a movie called The True Cost.  It is a new documentary movie and it had a dramatic impact on my kids.  I recommend it to ANYONE and I would like to thank See Beautiful for sharing it with me.  It was incredible to see my kids reaction to this movie and how it affected them.  You can click on the The True Cost link above to watch a trailer of the movie.  I hope it inspires you as well, maybe even share it with those you know. 
Blessings,
Michelle

    You are touching so many hearts and are doing such great things with those kids! I've just recently reconnected with a "favorite" Chaplain who led our youth group back when I was a junior in HS. He made a huge impact on my life and I just know you're doing the same with your kids. They'll never forget you!
