Roll Tide...(Only Time I Will Ever Say That!)

So my husband and I took a quick trip to the beach this weekend since we discovered it's only 3 1/2 hours away! It was a much needed getaway....and happens to be one of my most favorite places on Earth---if not my very favorite! We got there after dark on Friday and quickly made our way down to the beach to hear the ocean. I sat there and watched the white caps rolling in and then the water receding out. I always think this is just so beautiful. And then I got to thinking: Those waves have been rolling since I was here last summer, and the summer before that, and every summer since I was two! (we like the beach, ok?) I realized that those waves would continue to roll all night, and they would still be crashing down in the morning. I jokingly thought to myself, "They must get so tired!" And then, like He usually does, God spoke to my heart when I really wasn't expecting it and said: "They don't get tired because they are doing what I have called them to do. I give unending strength to those who do my will." Um....hello? Does anyone else think that's awesome??? I stared at the relentless waves and saw them, not tired and dragging, but full of life and endless energy as they did what they were created to do. And so I think it can be for us. Somehow God will give you the strength and energy to do what He has called you. And when you are right in the middle of God's purpose for your life, people can't help but stop and stare at the beauty of the moment. Much Love!
