Caleb and I had a fantastic time in Cancun this past week. It was certainly a much needed vacation and as always, takes forever to get here and then is over in a heartbeat. It felt like this:
The long awaited trip began it's final week countdown. 7 days, 6 days, 5 days, 4, 3, 2 and 1. Waiting anxiously for our ride to arrive, bounding down the stairs, strolling out to the taxi at the crack of dawn with a light bounce in my step, hopping into the taxi with a big ol' grin on my face. Cancun, here we come!
Then we blinked.
And we were left standing in our parking lot, luggage sitting beside us, taxi pulling away, and us looking at the apartment with dazed, unimpressed expressions, thinking with a heavy, internal sigh, "aaaand back to the grindstone."
Literal, no. Figurative, yes. If how I felt was put into a short film, it would have looked something like that and would have occurred in two scenes. Now if that doesn't get nominated for an Oscar in Best Short Film, then I don't know what will!
But in all seriousness.
I had a few moments with the Lord on this trip as I stood in awe of the majesty of the ocean. I couldn't help but look out, breathe in the ocean air and thank the Lord for the beauty of His creations. I thought of Genesis and how God created the oceans, separated by the sky and the land.
Beauty... majesty... meticulous... purpose.
God created the very ocean I swam in and may or may not have gone #1 in when the restrooms were just too far away.
He created the powerful waves that continued to knock me over with legs and arms flailing, attempting not to choke to death on salt water.
He created and knows how many grains of sand are on that beach that always found its way into my swimsuit.
yes daughter.....i laughed quite a bit over this
