Beach

So as all three of us lay in the bed here at the beach enjoying one of Eli's music videos I can't help but be grateful for the time we have had to relax and just be a family. We have only seen a handful of people while we have been down here which is nuts for us because we are not use to a nearly empty beach. We have yet to see anyone at the pool here, so it has been a new experience for us. We were praying that we would be able to find people here to be able to just talk to and listen to while we were here, but that has been hard to do. The trip is not over yet and we are about to head to another little town to explore a little and have dinner. Maybe we will meet some people there. Needless to say we have had a good time relaxing. It is a bit hard relaxing with a toddler, but the Lord has been gracious to us, especially after Eli has gone to bed at night. Ha. I thought I would be able to have a ton of time to write on the laptop that I finally have a working battery for, but that time has been slim.
You are reminded of the things in life that matter and the things that don't. So much of what captivates my mind is useless and has no kingdom effect. I struggle with this...but am reminded that the Lord has much bigger things to fill my heart with if I continue to give it to Him.
....so, we are about to go...I will hopefully write more tonight or tomorrow....I just thought for the two people that read this I might give an update as to why the blog has been so delayed in being updated....hope to write more very soon.
The glory of the Lord is evident to me this day through what His hands have created!
