Well, it took an extra day to recover from the white water rafting, but oh what a blast we had as we enjoyed everything God has given us. I was in awe as I enjoyed the trip down the river, looking around at the intricate detail of the rock formations. In May we went to Cedar Point and enjoyed man-made roller coasters. Yesterday we enjoyed a natural roller coaster provided by God.
The other enjoyable part of the day was around just letting go and having faith in God to get us safely down the river. Not only that, but I personally let go of some of my fears around letting the kids be independent. The 4 kids with 2 of their friends were in one boat and my wife and I were in another. What test of my faith that was to let go of that fear, handing to God as He instructs. We got to lunch and there were the kids. We got to the end of the day, and the kids were there. God fulfills His promises.
The day ended with a reminder of that promise and all of God's promises ; a beautiful rainbow right in front of us on the drive home!
By the way and for the record, the kids stayed in the boat while I was tossed out.
