10/24-10/26: Maryland

We were honestly exhausted when we got to Maryland. The day before had been full with seeing Philadelphia and going to Delaware then we got up early and went to DC. We had been on our feed for those two days and put a lot of miles on the car. Our hosts were so gracious and welcoming that we immediately felt at peace in the home of strangers. This was exactly what we needed to rejuvenate and find refreshment. They were so excited to host us!!

Sunday was our main day there. We loved attending their church where they were talking about loving generously and living a life full of intentionally showing love to those around you. This is what our trip has been about! We were excited to see a church desiring to live this out in their day to day lives and to learn more about living this lifestyle of abundance through obedience to God and loving of others. That evening we visited the small group that our hosts' attend. Everyone knew we were coming, so it felt more like a reunion than an initial time of meeting. They asked us to share with them about the trip...so we did! Many people told us afterwards that they were encouraged to see people living out what they were studying. We too were encouraged to see how our lives are making a difference for people we had so briefly met! I think everyone left that evening with their hearts full. <3

The next day we enjoyed a relaxing morning and amazing conversations. :D We may not have toured much in Maryland, but we definitely left a piece of our hearts there.
