So a day before we left, my parents told me I was going to Whidbey Island for a night. At first, I wasn't going to go, but I'm SO glad I went. It was soo beautiful! Actually, I find that I make so many last minute decisions that I actually will NEVER regret that I made.
Again, I couldn't sleep at night. This was the room we stayed in. It was cozy and high. There were windows to the left of this picture which faced the water. I have never seen a more artistic house than this. There's also another house my parents slept in. That house was awesome too--I'll post a photo of it later.
At night and in the morning, you could hear
the waves splashing onto the shore. That sound is the most precious sound of my life. Every lap of the water on the shore took up all my breath. It is truely very different from sleeping with the sounds of the night. This is partly why I love the beach so much. I love the water. What wonders of the Lord!
Although this weekend hasn't ended yet, it has been amazing so far. A lot of thinking has been done in the past few weeks. My brain is fried, but I'm still working. =)
This was part of the other house. I love the design! I wish I had a designed house like this. This is what outside of the middle picture looked like:
I feel so blessed to be able to experience this kind of wildlife. It's such a blessing. Actually, since yesterday, I started feeling nervous about my baptismal. Everything's planned now and I'm happy--thanks to Melissa Ling, but....I feel like I wasn't focused a lot on my testimony and actual baptismal. It's time to get in gear. What am I really doing? Have I really thought about what I am doing before I even signed up? I suddenly feel like something's going to go wrong tomorrow. I've planned so much, now is it going to work? Maybe this is why I couldn't sleep last night. I hope that God really speaks through me on stage tomorrow.
I just read a little devotion from my email. It said: "Being a Vessel to Bless Others" What does that really mean? The verse that came with it was:
"One man gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed." Proverbs 11:24-25
"being a vessel to bless others"
ReplyDelete- think of it like a teapot...when it is filled up; it always pours out to other cups. You and your life is like a tea pot. God is always filling you up with sooo many things; trials, lesssons learned, bible verses and it is duty as a disciple to continue to keep pouring and blessing others with your life. =)
