My thoughts while walking along the beach. "Life is like nature. There are stormy days. There are calm days.
There are days like the ocean. You're peaceful but there are areas of sand from the storm like the water, you must gently flow around the mound.
And days after the storms, your breath is taken away by the most beautiful black shell, beauty you would never have seen without the storm bring it to shore."
Memory at lunch at The Sassy Bass: the song, Take it Easy by the Eagles was playing...so young, so long ago, when I dreamed of living life at the beach...and today. I am not living here but I am experiencing it. Life is unexpected, it has not turned out the way I planned it when I was planning my future.
But now, in this last period of my life, it is showing me who I was created to be.
I am not living here at the beach, but I am experiencing life here, at the beach.
I have weathered the storms, I've been beaten up against the rocks, I'm sashed up on the shore now. I hope people see me like the black shell, tossed but beautiful.
Lord, You gave me a love to write. I have put the gift away in the drawer for so long that I don't know how to use the gift anymore. Abba, help me open the gift, help me to use it, let it flow from my heart to my pen. Unlock the words You have put in me. Unleash the joy I find in writing. May my pen flow like water, may the gift heal my heart, restore to me what has been gathering dust and turning to ash.
