Beauty at its Finest

The last few days we've been staying in Hilton Head, SC. All of us girls were staying in a beach house...fabulous. This morning I woke up at 6:40 and headed out to the beach with Tabetha (team member) to watch the sunrise and have some quiet time. It was Marvelous. The waves were crashing against the shore, the sea breeze was blowing, my toes were in the sand, I had my Bible and journal in hand...it was a wonderful way to start my day :-) It was a breathtaking scene, and I couldn't be more happy about waking up before the sun :-)

My grandma got me a little book about Psalm 23 and I've been slowly reading my way through it as it segments the Psalm verse by verse and line by line. Today's line: "He leads me beside quiet waters..." Yeah...I'd say that was quite appropriate for my morning :-) I love it when God works things out like that.

Looking out across the ocean, watching the pelicans diving to get fish, and just soaking in the new morning sun I was reminded of the beauty and power of God. In my opinion, the ocean is one of God's creations that really embodies the majesty, mystery and awe of Him. I was rendered speechless when I was out there this morning...it was wonderful haha. I mean, how often do I get to see the sunrise on the beach? Not very often. So I am incredible thankful for that blessing from my Creator :-)

Another thought...God is the Creator of all of that; the birds, the sun, the water, the sand, all of it. And it is so beautiful. He's also our Creator...so what does that say about you and me? :-) *sigh*

I went out to the beach to lay out these last couple days, and yesterday morning Missy and I ran on the beach. Every time we were out there we saw dolphins :-) It was so fun! At one point one of the dolphins jumped completely out of the water, it was awesome! Just a few smiles from Heaven :-)

Welp...we're on the bus (surprise surprise haha) on our way to Crossville, TN. It's going to be a long drive...about 10hrs at least. But it gives me good time to do things like this. I hope y'all are enjoying my posts. Thanks again, so much, for joining me in my journey!
