While in the Bahamas God really showed himself through nature. There were three moments that I hope I will never forget and purposely writing them here so I never will.
1. I woke up at 5:30, kayaked out to an island across from us, walked around to the back of it to watch the sunrise. With the ocean breeze the temperature was perfect. The smell of salt was in the air. I stood as close to the edge of the coral as I could get without falling in the water and watched the sun rise as if it were coming out of the ocean.
2. I played in the rain for an hour straight. This wasn’t a light drizzle, but a full on downpour for an hour. It was the only time I can honestly say that I was cold there. A huge rainbow was right in front of me and I learned that there was truly no end to one because when you get closer, it gets smaller but keeps getting longer out of your periphs…blew my mind.
3. The last night there I laid out on the beach with my pillow in the beach chairs looking at the stars. I used my jacket as a blanket. With the wind there were NO mosquitoes which was the only reason I was outside. I have never seen so many stars in my life and I lost count of how many shooting stars I saw…at least 13. I ended up falling asleep in the chair until it started to rain. It was one of the best nights of my life.
God is really all around us, sometimes we just get so comfortable with our surrounding that we forget that He created it all!!
PSALM 19:1-6
1 The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
2 Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they reveal knowledge.
3 They have no speech, they use no words;
no sound is heard from them.
4 Yet their voice[b] goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.
In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun.
5 It is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
like a champion rejoicing to run his course.
6 It rises at one end of the heavens
and makes its circuit to the other;
nothing is deprived of its warmth.
I can feel Him all around me
