I sang this song in church a few weeks ago and it has been one of my prayer songs for a little while. It keeps running through my mind. Walking along the sand, hearing the ocean roar, being reminded of God's power. It's a good place to be.
I'm participating in a personal group retreat in Oregon. Sabbath by the Sea is everything I needed and wanted it to be. I have group worship, sharing and learning together and lots of time to be alone with myself; which I'll admit is a scary thought.
We arrived on Saturday evening to make the most of our long drive and I'm so thankful we did. Those extra two days gave me a jump start on letting go of things at home and by the time Monday evening came around to start our Sabbatical, I was ready.
God jump started our time with three solid days of sunshine! A miracle, I know, for the Oregon coast this time of year. Look at His gift:
I love the light reflecting on the water as it shines through
the hole:
Giant waves pounded the rocks, adding to the beauty
of the sunset:
Peace.
Glory a Dios!
Yesterday was a good day. I cried.
Sang.
Walked.
Cried.
Read.
Sang.
Yelled.
Prayed. Continual conversation with God. Out loud, in my head, both...
Laughed.
Wrote.
Sat.
Slept.
Ate. All in no particular order.
