A mix of excitement… and just a touch of chaos. 😅 Last weekend, Steven and I headed out on a little road trip with visions of a sandy “beach” and a relaxing day in the sun. Reality check: we arrived to a narrow, grassy riverbank instead (note to self—holiday weekends can be tricky).

The beaches are wide and peaceful, the downtown area has that charming historic feel without feel...

With sandy toes and waves washing over us, let’s embark on a journey that blends the serenity of the beach with the richness of our faith. Faith by the Sea  🏄‍♀️ There’s something undeniably awe-inspiring about the ocean. Its vastness reminds us of the grandeur of creation and our place within it and yet how small in comparison with its Creator. Psalm 95 tell us the "depths of the earth are in His hands" and "the sea is His, for He made it." Just as the tides are ever-changing, our spiritual journeys can also take unexpected turns but we can find safety and stability in our Father through His word.
