Spring Break: Staycation

One more day until Spring Break! I know all of you are very excited. Many of you are probably headed out of town to the beach, visit family or friends, or other places. Some of you are even going to stay home. But a spring break "staycation" doesn't have to be boring or lame. Here are some ways to make sure it's not!

1. Rest
You're over halfway through with school, and summer is so close you can taste it! However, there are still research papers and tests to be taken before that summer vacation, and you're going to need your beauty sleep. Take a full day of your spring break and devote it solely to resting. Wear your pjs, watch girly movies, eat junk food-anything that will help you relax.

2. Try Something New
Is there a restaurant in town that you've been thinking about trying? Maybe it's a new bowling alley or a few new movies that have come out while you've been focused on studying and keeping up with your crazy schedule. Have you tried the new frozen yogurt place? It is yummy! Whatever it is, get a group of your friends together and go try something different. Think outside the box!

3. Travel Nearby
Whether you believe it or not, there's probably something interesting to do in the towns near you. Find something unique in neighboring towns or cities, like Augusta or Columbia and take a day trip!

4. Volunteer
There are many ways to serve here in Aiken. Find something you're passionate about-whether it is working with children, serving at a shelter, or visiting at the senior citizen center. Seek out ways to glorify God and serve Him in your time off from school!

Just because you are staying home, doesn't mean you have to be bored! Be creative and have fun on your staycation! But always remember to keep God first in everything you do!

Loving Jesus together,
Morgan

A Message from God's Word...

You're blessed when you stay on course,
walking steadily on the road revealed by God.
You're blessed when you follow his directions,
doing your best to find him.
That's right-you don't go off on your own;
you walk straight along the road he set
~Psalm 119:1-3
