I am sitting here, in the sand, in Honolulu. (Pardon any errors, I'm on my phone and it's hard to see). I can not get over the blessing that this is. I can't get over Gods greatness. First just that's I'm here and second His creation. The way the water moves, the colors in the waves and sand, the trees that grow up but also reach down to earth. Gods splendor in real live. I can't fathom what his thrown in heaven looks like but I imagine it has all of these elements. It's also the people. All walks of life swarming to this place just to see this beauty. As I sit here, I can't even read as I had planned to do. Because I can't keep my eyes down. I just want to stare at Gods glory. It's like I can see how much he loves us all. He made each grain of sand and every wave that comes ashore, why? To give life to this earth. To bring beauty to a fallen land. And hopefully to remind us to run away from sin and run to Him. This earth we have is incredible but only because He gave it to us.
If only I could see this same beauty in the mountains like some people do 😉. So what have I actually done since being here? Tim and I walked down the beach a little ways to a nice restaurant and had a big seafood dinner. Then we went to sleep early and enjoyed a full nights rest! This morning I did a little shopping for food and other necessities as well as a lot of window shopping for souvenirs. I took the resorts walking tour which consisted of touring lots of local shops and eating free samples (aka my lunch). Today was supposed to be rainy but it's actually pretty nice. Of course it just started raining on me... but it's ok because it's 80 degrees and sunny. And I thought CO weather was weird. So I'm working on my tan (in the rain) and not reading (per the plan).
I can't get pictures to post right now so check my Instagram.
