Waves

We hit the beach for one last time today and it was amazing. The waves were friggin huge! I was standing in water that was between my stomach and nipples and the waves were higher up than I could reach my hands. I body boarded out there with the surfers. I wonder what they were thinking of me.
Anyhow, I would often pass up waves that I would have killed to have last week. But you could always see the really big one coming. There were times when I was so tired I could barely paddle back out and the waves would just keep coming and they would literally kick the crap out of me. It reminded me of when Job challenged God and God’s response was, “Oh, yeah? You think you are the big man? Check out what I created.”
I was totally humbled today by the ocean and the power it holds and to think that is a mere hint of God’s awesome power. It’s like when Job says back to God, “I know that you can do anything, and no one can stop you. You ask, ‘Who is this that questions my wisdom with such ignorance?’ It is I. And I was talking about things I did not understand, things far too wonderful for me.”

Like we’re gonna tell you when we are coming home….
We leave tomorrow morning and we are going to play it by ear on how long we take to get home.
