Well, I'd say it's pretty close anyway! This is where we were for the largest portion of last week...
This photo isn't enhanced in any way... no contrast or saturation added. Straight from the camera... it was BEAUTIFUL on the day we left. Savannah called me out on the balcony to see how the ocean looked like a swimming pool! And yes, those little specs that you see are people. This was our view from the 17th floor. And we can't wait to go back!!!!

So, I was thinking about something and couldn't go to sleep. And I wanted to share. Facebook is a wealth of info! Some gossip, some funny and lots of inspiring. Mary Kathyrn posted something on her status update tonight...
"you don't know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have"
Just a few words, but powerful words! And it got me to thinking about my Daddy's death. (honestly, it's hard not to think about every day.) God offers me the only peace and strength I have and while I'm sad (every day) about the fact that he's gone from this earth, I truly know he's in a better place! The Lord doesn't always promise bright days ahead. And He allows bad things to happen in order to refine us... our pastor made an analogy. It's much like the way gold is refined. It's heated until all the impurities are washed away. Our trials and sadness are the heat and it makes us stronger and hopefully, better Christians. I'm also reminded of the scripture that Bro. Jon recited just before Daddy died...
Psalm 23
A psalm of David.
1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, 3 he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, [a] I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 6 Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
My Daddy now dwells in the house of the Lord, forever.GOD is my strength.He restores MY soul.
