something about the ocean.


{pc: google}
I once heard it said that no one stands in front of the ocean and boasts about how much they can bench press. I think the point was that there is something about the vastness of the ocean that leaves us awestruck, almost to the point of speechlessness. This weekend I have the opportunity to take some time away from everything and go to the coast with just my small group girls and the Lord and spend time in prayer and worship in the presence of one of the most beautiful aspects of God's creation and I can't wait.

For since the creation of the world God's invisible attributes-his eternal power and divine nature-have been understood and observed by what he made, so that people are without excuse. Romans 1.20

Whether it is rainy or sunny, warm or cold, take some time this weekend to truly relish the Creator and his creation.
Blessings.

    ...and it was so BEAUTIFUL this weekend. The perfect weather for your trip.

    I have always had a fear and awe of the ocean. It is a beautiful and yet powerful thing.

Ironically, though, it is supposed to be hotter here than it will be in San Francisco which is sort of counter-intuitive but as my dear friend Alexis says, "It's all good!"

Day 1: who would have thought the RAIN would follow me to Chicago?!

Well, it has been nearly 24 hours since I touched down in the windy city and let me tell you, it has been NOTHING like what I expected it to be. First off, the rain I encountered upon arriving would have seriously given Oregon rain a run for it's wet money. I kid you not, there was seriously a flash flood advisory for the evening! However, unlike Oregon, the weather was probably 75 degrees--something I was NOT used to. Luckily, I didn't have to spend too much time in the rain because my shuttle driver had arrived on time and was ready to whisk me off to my hotel in the 'burbs. *here is some free advice: when traveling to somewhere you are not familiar with like, say, CHICAGO, check to see if the airport has a shuttle service--that way you do not have to pay up the wazoo in taxi fares.  After a somewhat awkward ride in the shuttle bus,(while taking a shuttle may be the cheaper option, keep in mind that you get what you pay for. In my case, since the driver was not expect
