In the ten years I’ve known Karen Audant, like everyone else, she’s been through her share of challenges. But it’s always evident that Karen’s confidence in the Lord in the most difficult situations runs deep. She often looks to nature and physical activity to reconnect with God. Karen is a big fan of Wayne Muller’s Sabbath book and, like Muller, believes some time in nature is essential and a nourishing Sabbath practice.
Her form of spiritual replenishment–including an upcoming camping and hiking trip with her husband to Patagonia–reminds me to take time to revel in the Lord’s ways beyond the sanctuary and adoration chapel. Karen helps open my eyes to just how big God is.
