Weekend away
This weekend I packed my bags, raced out of town, and headed for the the picturesque hills of the Sunshine Coast hinterland. A few guys from church were meeting together for a prayer retreat at a macadamia nut farm just outside the township of Maleny. It was a great time away. Without going into sensitive details, I had a real intimate time with God while there. It did my soul a world of good.
By the time the retreat wrapped up at about noon on Saturday I could smell a Judd Green steak on the BBQ, wafting in with the easterly ocean breeze. I left the farm and drove to the coast to spend the rest of the weekend with the Green family while they were on holidays at Alexandra Headlands. There was plenty of eating, swimming, and laughing going around.
Between both days I can’t begin to describe how relaxed I feel right now. I just hope I’ll be able to snap out of the daze before university starts up in two weeks time.
I didn’t take a DSLR, but rather a little point-and-shoot digital and took some shots (inconspicuously) while wandering around the farm early on Saturday morning. The last shot shows the view from the table we had dinner at on Saturday night.
