Whoever knew this would be another way of saying “Hello. I love you, dearly”? Christine Jensen did. Why? Because if you know my sense of humor, this is perfect. And to make it all the more perfect, she had an audio of it, IN SPANISH! Christine, how you know me so! And Heather!!! Surfing, chocolate cake and tiaras!! Dude! This has shown me not just how much my friends know me, but how much Christ has been after my own heart, romancing me in the most glorious ways! (And tomorrow it will be via waves =) Yessssssss!!!!)
(day of said surfing…) The surf was awesome, and how I wiped out! I stepped on two stingrays (but did not get stung) and saw five pods of dolphins; two of ’em riding the waves! Dude, it frustrates me that even though I’m constantly bombarded by His love and affection for me, I constantly forget about it. I constantly forget about how much I have and how much has been provided for me and I dwell on what I don’t have and what I haven’t done. I’m quick to throw up the white flag, surrender and declare defeat. And what frustrates me even more is that I’m really slow to ask for help, if I even ask. Like I mentioned in an earlier blog, I tend to shut down and over analyze EVERYTHING, which really doesn’t solve squat. I’m reeeeeeaaaaaally hoping that learning how to shortboard will transcend into my outlook on everything else in my life. You see, shortboarding is the first sport/activity/hobby/anything that I haven’t thrown up my hands in surrender, but have just gone back into the water, determined like the dickens to learn. After contemplating it, I see it as God’s perfect way of saying mi hidrodeslizador es llenado de anguilas.
