Leadership Conference and Renewal Trip to Crystal Peaks Youth Ranch

 Mike, Lauren and I had the opportunity to return to Crystal Peaks this spring. Last year we attended the "Similar Ministries Informational Conference" and this year we continued on to the "Leadership Conference."
 We arrived Wednesday May 22nd and were welcomed with open arms. Upon setting foot on this beautiful ranch, we all felt a sense of peace and rest. 

It was a time to come together and pray, worship and listen. Each morning we met in the Crystal Peaks Barn for worship time led by Troy Meeder.
 Following morning worship we broke into personal Bible study and prayer. This was a quiet time of reflection and time to grow closer to Christ. 

Mike and I found a quiet place near the chicken coop and back horse corral. We felt at home hearing and smelling the horses.

 Meet Eclipse. She is Troy's personal horse and has a very gentle demeanor.
 So Blessed to have been able to spend another week at this amazing place with Lauren, my great friend and co-founder of Sun River Equine.
 View from my Bible Study spot ( :
 One of the Crystal Peaks riding areas. This is "Sandy Pants Arena." What a view!
 Detail and careful planning in every building. Town Marshal building, "Lightfoot Memorial" and Troy's office.
 Now this is an arena!


This journey has been truly divine. We have had our struggles but have grown closer to the Lord and each other. THANK YOU to Crystal Peaks staff and volunteers for the awesome week of spiritual renewal! We miss each and every one of you!

"Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom."
-2 Corinthians 3:17
