Day 66: Solitude

Hello!

It has been only a few days since I posted last week's post, so there isn't much to write about.

I didn't explore as much during my days off as I have been these past two weeks. This has been caused by a lot of rain that has squelched several walking endeavors, but also because I got to work on another calligraphy project. In the midst of all this I have been able to spend a lot more time in silence and solitude, enjoying the scent of the rain or sitting for two hours in the midst of a power outage that affected the entire Old Faithful area. It has been remarkably peaceful. I am very grateful for this opportunity to enjoy some down time.

For the team though, it has been a much different story. Several shifts in management has promoted several teammates to new responsibilities within their work and have been requiring them to put in additional work and effort into their week. Sleep and rest has been high on our prayer list. This has caused the team to focus more heavily on team unity and being gracious with each other as we pray for each other and share burdens. I have been particularly grateful for the team support group that has been visiting us occasionally for these past weeks, bringing homemade goodies and treats and filling us with encouragement. In the midst of these transitions, there have been several good changes made for these teammates in their situations, but please pray that the team will have strength in their work and that their new positions will be met with encouragement by these teammates' new managers and co-leaders in management.

Thank you for your continued support and encouragement. It is a great blessing to us.
