  • As I lie in bed right now, and am re-capturing the moments of today, I am in awe, just complete awe, because of the beauty that God has created. This afternoon, as I looked out at the waves at Cox Bay beach, I could honestly say that I was scared. Just earlier that morning I was convinced that surfing was a bad idea for me and I had dreaded to come; Wendy Cheung said my face was all scrunched up. So when it was actual time for us to hit the water, I was the last one to walk in and the last one to hop on the board. Wave after wave I got smashed by the waves and a few times when I got wiped out I almost felt like I was going go drown...even though the water wasn't very deep at all. But the more I stood up to the waves, each time getting up, walking deeper into the waters and running at the waves with my surf board, I became more strong and willing to try. In the end, I didn't succeed in standing on the board but I did get my knees up and one foot up lol. All this made me appreciate the waves much more. They were the beauty of the ocean, and when you are able to ride them, you will be able to enjoy them.

    Then I thought back to tonight, at toquin park beach. There, the four of us watched the sun set and took numerous pictures. As we sat there to wait for the night go get dark, we could slowly make out the stars one by one. It was as if God was turning a light switch on for each individual star,so that when we finally could not see the sun anymore, there were billions and trillions of star shining brightly down at us. At 11:30pm, it was my first time lying down on the beach with my face up, looking at the clear night sky, and the first time I heard the waves at the same time. It was like magic. The moment was precious. We praised God through our prayers tonight. How awesome is He to have created such a beautiful universe!
