Cabin Weekend

Over Thanksgiving Weekend, our friends invited us to go out to their family member's cabin. SO beautiful and restful. This happened back in November, but I just loved it so much and have been meaning to blog it and share pictures. 

So cool to reflect on how the Lord brought us to Alaska and has provided us with such incredible community here. We joined a small group when we first moved up to Alaska through our church, Cornerstone. The couples in our group have been so much a part of our lives and have enriched life here for us. It is so good to have the encouragement of other wives here in Alaska. Most of the women I met in our small group have family in other states and that has helped me to see other women who have grown to love Alaska, been committed to following the lead of their husbands, sometimes away from family. Our first experience was talking Jesus and reading scripture and studies together. Our group has grown to ski together, have game nights, rent a cabin together, get out and walk the dogs, dinner nights together, and everything in between. God is so good. I consider the women in my small group to be some of my closest friends here. God has a plan and a journey. I find rest for my soul by putting my trust in Him, knowing that even when you make a huge move, He provides, He shows me His love, He continues to keep His promises. He is faithful and I am thankful.

Rockin' Alaska Style

Love the loft style of this cabin.

Cutest kitchen ever.

We loved getting to see this amazing cabin, which was on an island. We had to drive across a FROZEN lake to get to the cabin. Seriously, so scary. We spent the weekend cross country skiing and ice skating, playing games, and drinking hot cocoa. We loved the time to rest, enjoy community, and experience a way of living in Alaska. The cabin definitely spurred a desire in Tony and I to save up one day for a cabin property in Alaska. I love the idea of raising our kids in acres upon acres of Alaskan land to explore, ski, fish, hunt, bike, hike, and just live experiencing the world God has provided. 

{And let us consider how to stir up on another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.}
