Although I could live there the rest of my life just watching the waves, God has not called us to the beach (yet!), so we packed up the truck and headed back to life. :)
"I am the LORD your God, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar— the LORD of hosts is His name. And I have put My words in your mouth and covered you in the shadow of My hand, establishing the heavens and laying the foundations of the earth, and saying to Zion, 'You are My people.'" ~Isaiah 51:15-16
P.S. Before we left on vacation God had led us to check out an adoption agency called Family Connections, their closest office being 10 minutes from the beach house. They were having their Information Meeting while we were on vacation so we decided to attend the meeting to see if this was where the Lord was leading us. After that meeting we decided to turn in our application for adoption. The next step is to attend the first of 3 meetings which happened to be the next Thursday. So here we go... we are invested and believe God continues to confirm this decision every step ... so far. I feel like we have been standing at a crossroad for a while, looking at many roads in front of us and asking the Lord which road He would have us take. God gives such a wonderful peace about things when you wait on Him and walk behind instead of in front of Him. The road may not be easy but whatever it holds God is there. :)
"fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand." ~Isaiah 41:10
