Pier
I love this view of the pier.....so beautiful and intricate.....I couldn't help but think about how each and every one of those posts has a HUGE responsibility in holding up the pier, and how they all work together.... and link together..... just like our life situations and circumstances.... they make us strong, and get us a little closer to our Promised Land! OH PRAISE THE ONE WHO PAID MY DEBT and RAISED THIS LIFE UP FROM THE DEAD!!
Today was another HOT one….105 or something like that!! We spent part of the day at Sunset Beach, NC, and part at Ocean Isle Beach, NC. I convinced my parents it was a GREAT idea to visit every beach in the area so we could check out the entire Carolina Coast! So far we have hit up Wrightsville Beach, Myrtle Beach, Sunset Beach, and Ocean Isle Beach! I will give you a summary on each beach at a later time, once I have visited as many as I could in this short amount of time (yes, we still plan on visiting a few others)!
We had lunch at this delicious restaurant called “Giggling Mackerel” in Ocean Isle, NC. I stepped out of my box and actually tried Mahi Mahi, and Mackerel. And I LOVED THEM BOTH, and would TOTALLY order them again!!! For those of you familiar with my eating habits… I hope you are clapping your hands after reading this…I am super proud of myself for trying these fish today! MAN, I have been MISSING OUT on some GOOD FOOD!!!
Sistership
Having a blast with my oldest sister :) WISH YOU WERE HERE TOOOOOO MEGGGGG!!!! We miss you so much! I can’t wait to wear my purple “GIGGLING MACKEREL” t-shirt!!
Okay…..so all day this has been on my heart, so I am going to write about it…. I am so mad at myself and feel so frustrated with myself. Yesterday, as we were driving down to Myrtle…. We passed a homeless man on the other side of the road (4 lanes across). I saw him (I was the only one who noticed him for some reason), it registered to me that I should help him, but I didn’t say anything or ask to stop because I wasn’t driving, and honestly, I was being lazy and sort of scared. ALL DAY THIS MAN HAS BEEN ON MY HEART. And I KNOW I should have stopped, found out his name and his story, and bought him something to eat. This past weekend at our women’s retreat; Susie talked about how we have APPOINTMENTS that God sets up. And I feel that was my appointment. And I TOTALLY MISSED IT…..and Pastor Joe talked Sunday about being a DOER and not just a HEARER….. grrrrrrrrrrrr. Keep me accountable folks…. Pray for me, so that when Jesus calls me to do something,
Hand in Hand
Brittany Noel and I taking a walk on Sunset Beach.... talking about how many sand dollars were on this beach, and how we wish Megan was here with us...and how Megan should move to Maryland. I do it without hesitation…..I do NOT want to miss another appointment.
“The original call of Jesus was so simple, so clean, so clear; “Follow Me.” He wants us to surrender our lives to Him and follow Him into the unknown. And if it means a life of suffering, hardship, and disappointments, it will be worth it because following Jesus Christ is more powerful and more fulfilling than living with everything in the world minus Him.” ~Erwin Raphael McManus
One more thing I have to share…….So my brother Joshua James calls me this evening and shares a story about a couple who got engaged from his church in Columbus, Ohio. Apparently…they had been dating a long while…. And today he proposed to her in the park. Instead of giving her a ring, he gave her a tool of some sort. She was confused and he just assured her that it would all make sense later…. Later they get back to her apartment and he tells her to go get the teddy bear they made together at build-a-bear 2 years ago. …the tool she was given was used to UN-sew the teddy bear. And what do you
My AMAZING Parents :)
they are so much fun!! know….she found a ring, INSIDE THE HEART OF THE TEDDY BEAR THAT HE HAD PUT THERE 2 YEARS AGO!!!!! She had been sleeping with this bear every night, and the whole time, the ring was inside it. WOW!!! Sigh….. beautiful.
