All Around!

Do you see God all around? Do you feel Him and His presence everywhere you go?

Spring break 2012...what an adventure! My roommate Kim and I flew to South Africa and had a fantastic time!! Of course there were a few "ahhhh" (the scared kind) moments and even a couple of Harris wild-goose chases. Thank goodness for GPS. Ok, I know what in the world is with your title right? Well, this year, God has really blessed me. I feel like an acorn He planted and now and young sapling is coming out. When we saw Table Mountain or Lionshead, the beautiful ocean, the slimy kelp, I saw God. The beauty of his creation cries out His Name. I love nature, rocks, especially with water going over them. On this trip, I said I love God. We climbed Table Mountain, toured the city, saw penguins and seals, AND went cage diving with Great White Sharks!!!! It was AMAZING!!!! I have never done something so incredible in my life nor doubt much will compare. The majestic power of these creatures is astounding, and as I watched them, the thought in my head besides "oh my goodness am I really doing this?!" was WOW God! You loved creating on the 5th day. Thank you for allowing me to enjoy your creation. My favorite part of the trip was on Friday. It was hot, and we went to the beach. Kim sat on one of the huge rocks and read. I did too for a little while. Then, I went exploring. I found mussels and "sea doughnuts"; shells, sea anemone in bright colors and an assortment of little creatures. In all these different things, I felt as though I was seeing God, His handiwork, his grace and love. It was an incredible trip!! I hope my words expressed it properly.
