Hilton Head '09!

Vacation has arrived! Bo & I closed on our house on Thursday, and left Friday right after work with my brother, and drove 13 hours to the beach! Good food, good fellowship, relaxation, A LOT of laughter, some good competition, and last but certainly not least, sweet sweet time with My Lord.

I have always loved the ocean. I almost felt overwhelmed as we walked along the shore yesterday. Bo & I spend some time on the beach last night, looking at the moon and stars. We got our own little personal fireworks show from people playing with their 4th of July goodies. Bo & I were reflecting on what we had studied during our quiet times, and the 2 books I dove into, and both of us were just feeling amazed by the God we serve. He really is worth giving our whole lives to. I've really been experiencing God's peace, and know that I can only have true peace through Him.

I don't know what it is about being out in nature, but I meet with God deeply when I am breathing in His creation. God's sweet and tender whispers are as overwhelming as the vastness of the ocean. They take my breath away. I am thankful that God, in all His grace and mercy, not only gives us joy in all things, but woo's our hearts and satisfies our innermost desires.
