I Almost Didn’t Go!
First, enjoy a couple of pictures from Thanksgiving and my walk with the Lord…He never ceases to amaze me! (Sorry those I added to the last blog…oops!)
Second, on Saturday, the 27th, we planned to go on a 5 hour hike to a waterfall, but it turned out to be too expensive for us to do, so we decided to take the boys to the beach…
I really wasn’t in the mood to go to the beach. I was in a weird place and I felt like I shouldn’t go, yet through talking with a couple of brothers and sisters, I decided to go. God showed up in this decision!!
Here’s some highlights:
- Seeing the boys exuberance and excitement in going to the beach.
- The drive to the beach, so picturesque and gorgeous!
- Riding a boat for 45-ish minutes to get to an island beach.
- Amazing scenery all around.
- The boys laughter.
- Swimming in the Pacific Ocean (watching Ms. Aston overcome her fear).
- Eating a fried fish eye
- The cave filled with large bats.
- Jumping off of rocks into the ocean (even the cutting up of hands from said rocks).
- A shower by small buckets.
- Watching a fifteen-year-old boy cut up a stingray for his family!
- The boys showing off their sea critters they caught.
- The glorious displays from God all day long, especially the sunset!!!
And to think I almost missed all of this for whatever reasoning that was going on in my head to not go. I am SO thankful for my sisters pressing me to go and trying to help me figure out why I didn’t have a desire to go. God is truly good and truly faithful in revealing His Glory! Love you all!
