weekends are bomb

This weekend was awesome!  After a week of sitting in classes and being so busy, it's great to relax and spend time with everyone. 


Instead of going to Surfers Paradise beach, a small group of us went east to Burleigh.  I loved it!  It was less touristy than Surfers and is pretty much what one would picture if they thought "Australian beach". Many shops and cafes line the streets on the way to the ocean. There were lots of hippies and VW busses parked in the lot. A surfing competition sponsored by ripcurl was going on, which was so neat to watch.  The day was perfect!  In fact, I can't think of a way it could have been better.  The way the sun hit the water made it look so blue. The shoreline was on a curve, so I could see the city of Surfers Paradise,  which was fifteen miles away.  I have always loved the beach.  For me, it's the most liberating place to be. so to be at one this beautiful is incredible.

God is such an awesome creator.  When I see something as beautiful as the beach, I'm reminded that the same God who made the blue Pacific Ocean made me and you.  We were thought of even before that was created.  After the Father Heart of God week, I keep being reminded with ways in which God loves me. I want to encourage you to find something that you enjoy whether it's being outside or doing something creative and to invite Jesus with you.  It's great to quiet your thoughts and hear what he has to say.
