It's a good problem to have

So I get to pick between Maryland and California. Sounds like an easy decision, huh. Too bad its way more complicated than that. I guess I just have to trust in God and pick. Neither one of these is right or wrong. My life will be good whichever place I end up. God is good, yet sometimes these decisions are so hard. Moses was lucky, he got a burning bush. Read On...

Fishing with a crane

The other day I went fishing with a little crane. Well, I had thought that it was a crane. It was white, about 1.5-2 feet tall, had long legs and neck. I looked it up on google, however, and discovered that it is a snowy egret. My mistake. It was a beautiful creature, none the less. I was walking along a beach in Daytona as I saw this little bird skipping about in the shallow surf, dipping its head in the water every once in a while. I followed it slowly, at first not getting very close to it but eventually coming within about 5-6 feet from it. We developed a little understanding, he and I. I would not come closer than 5 feet unless he came to me, and he allowed me to enjoy his beauty and observe his breakfast. I am not sure what it was eating, but it was wonderful to stroll down the beach with him as my companion. I didn't mind that he didn't offer me any. I don't think that birds have the same manners as we do.

God is amazing. I look at the wonder of everything that he as made and I rejoice! I have been at the beach for the past couple of days and I am more relaxed than I have been in a very long time. I haven't had any headaches at all while being here. I have finished one book for pleasure and have made some good headway into a book for class. Our window looks over the ocean. I can hear the waves all the time.

I worship best at the beach, near an ocean. I am not sure why. I stand in with the sand squishing around my feet and I praise God. I swim into the waves and praise God. I simply stare over the vast water and I praise God. This is my sanctuary. Read On...
