As I was sitting on the beach, writing in my journal, I heard the Spirit of the Lord speak to me. He wanted me to explain what being on the beach meant to me and how I could describe it to Him. I started journaling the magnificent surroundings. I heard the gentle peace of the waves swishing back and forth. They really touched my heart and I felt at peace just like I do when I am going through a storm and Jesus is comforting me , just like the famous picture and it's words I saw one set of foot prints in the sand because He was carrying me through the storms and the trials that I have gone through and still are. Just knowing that we have a loving Savior that loves us so much and we are never alone. As I looked down at the sand covering my feet and the water gently rushing over them,it reminded me of Jesus cleansing us of our sins when He took them to the cross with Him. As I glanced around the sand and saw many sea shells that were broken piece by piece, just as we are, but He puts us back together and makes us whole again. The fish are part of His creation, full of different shapes and sizes just like us. He calls for all of us to be " Fishers of men, which takes faith and determination. The sun surrounds me as it lights up the sky and warms our bodies, just as Jesus the son covers us with warmth as we lie in His loving arms. He gives us that deep sensation of His love that only He can give. As the sights of my vision slowly disappeared , I felt such a peace in my soul. He told me that this journal that I was writing in was going to be the beginning of our second book together. I was ecstatic. We need to believe by faith not by sight. I could not see Him but I knew He was there. Tomorrow morning we would be leaving the peace and tranquility of the beach, but isn't it great that as long as we have Jesus the peace and tranquility will follow us everywhere. We will leave behind the seagulls hovering around swooping down to catch a fish or two for their meal. I will miss the beautiful sounds of the waves. We were truly blessed to have this vacation. He knew that I really needed to relax and spend quality time with Him and John because in two weeks after our beautiful getaway, I would be having surgery on my pancreas and spleen. I believe He was making me stronger as He had already told me that it was cancer. John and I honestly never felt any fear.
