A cool drink

The post-graduate school-celebration trip to Myrtle beach was fantastic. I loved almost every minute of it and I think it was good for me. I look much tanner now and I got to relax, read, write letters (or postcards), eat yummy crab, spend hours wandering around Broadway at the Beach, and take a bazillion hilarious and breathtaking pictures (usually one or the other). I am feeling much better in relation to my previous distress and I am trying to rest in Christ and His promises, while trusting Him to get me through every day. Just like He has been for the past 5 years (and before!...but I am in post college reflection mode).The topic of God wooing us and making us fall more in love with Him has been a topic of thought and discussion lately and as I was walking on the beach one night I could feel Him doing it. The way the water hit my feet and chased me around the beach, just felt like God chasing me the way someone in love chases their lover around for fun, laughing all the time. It was endearing. Is that an appropriate word to relate to God? I'm not sure. There are still many things on my heart but I am finding my hope in Christ and turning to Him with my worries (at least trying hard to, with good success). Church today was refreshing, like a drink of cool water for a thirsty soul. That sounds so cheesy but that is exactly how I felt, until I started getting really sleepy and painfully hungry (stupid flesh!) but it was still good even then. God is so amazing. He gives me just what I need when I need it and is so patient with me. I think I verbalize that a lot but it's really true. I'm going to go "rest in Christ" like we say at CWR (ie. take a nap). I'll post more later, just wanted everyone to know I'm doing well! Stay strong friends! Lean on Christ!
