Clint and I had the great gift to travel across the country to British Columbia to Young Life's camp, Malibu Club. Not only were we able to be in this beautiful place, but we got to sit, talk, and focus on our marriage. IT WAS INCREDIBLE!
So, it is kind of confusing... So, is it Malibu, California or is it British Columbia? Where were you guys? But, this place is the most remote place on the planet. To get to this beautiful place you have to 1) Fly to Seattle (roughly 8 hours of traveling) 2) Take a 2 hour bus ride to the Canadian border 3) Go through security and all that jazz 4) Get back on the bus for an hour and a half ride 5) Get on big ferry boat to Vancouver (1 hour at sea) 6) Get back on the bus for a 2 hour ride to Egmont, Canada 7) Get on water taxis to take you to camp (another hour and a half at sea)
But, nothing beats this view pulling up the Princess Louisa Inlet... Am I right!?
This is Malibu.
The beauty of this place is evidence of the Lord's Creation. The mountains declare His majesty. There is speechless grace and creation everywhere you look.
The whole camp feels like a tree house. It is built on rock, so you are always walking on boardwalks.
Here is main street with the store, the club room, the coffee shop, and dining hall.
The beauty of this place is humbling. But, the true beauty we found spending a week at Malibu was the gift we get to take home: our Marriage. Our Marriage is the #1 thing we can investment in. Our Marriage refines us, teaches us, and points us to our maker.
SO thankful for this week to be completely disconnected and off the map to focus on what matters most: Jesus and Clint Rouse. I still cannot believe that this man who was placed on my Young Life Team in 2006 is now my husband.
