BE PATIENT
After all the series of unplanned events that have occurred in my life, things just seemed bleak and so distant. And so, I decided to just go into a mini adventure of my own. To walk down the sandy beach of Folly Beach...to breath the salty fresh air and release my inner spirit into the crisp cold evening...to wonder and roam the sights of wonders before me.
Off I was without uttering a word, in pure silence and in awe of what has been so perfectly crafted in front of me...the cold waters splashing against the pier, the birds standing as if frozen on the sand, it almost seemed as if they were part of a garden...so carefully planted they stood there...without moving at all...the only movements came when the wind would interrupt such peacefulness blowing on their feathers as if it were a delicate petal being brushed by the sweaping wind.
My feet crushed the small sea shells as I walked on forward gazing into the distant and getting lost in thought to the sound of the waves, people laughing far behind me, and those riding their bikes along with their dogs running next to them...everything seemed so picturesque. So at peace. This is what I needed, a moment to reflect upon the beauty before me, to follow the sun as it began to sink behind the perfectlty lined beach homes.
I was absorbed by the delightful sun rays slowly fading into the distance, and gazing into the shadows of love...a couple playfully ran accross the sand as if tagging each other and together they jumped to cross a small puddle of salt water. Ah, how fresh it felt and rejuvenating to feel the cold wind slap my face as if asking me to wake up and face reality as is. To think that such moment only exists if we seek it...
That was what I needed, an awakening, a touch of refreshment joy. A moment to reflect upon what God has carefully been laying infront of me. To glance up into the Folly Pier and know, that for each structure there is a foundation, I have that foundation within me. I simply had overlooked the details of such remarkable establishment. Thus, it is set...God took that walk with me and held my hand...He pointed to the great master pieces He has been working on...and so, as any lover would do, He took my breath away just as the sun hid behind the beach houses...my shadow was gone, my feet were numb and so was my face, ears, and hands...time to head back to the car....
It was the most peaceful of moments I had had in the longest...It was just God and I...silently walking...silently loving on what He gave me...a life to fulfill and the wonders for me to use as a rejuvenation tool...to keep going and always know that HE is behind me and behind everything there is.....
