Jason was running to the store to get a few things and Gianna and I changed and went down to the pool. After about 10 minutes a great wind picked up. People started going inside and one of the workers was putting down the umbrellas on the tables.
Is this normal, I asked? Will it die down soon? The guy answered nope, supposed to be windy all weekend. I knew the next day it was supposed to rain, figured it was blowing in. We sat there disappointed. It was way too windy and cool to enjoy sitting there let alone get in the water.
Then I said to Gianna, let's pray! The bible says that even the wind and the waves obeyed Jesus, right? God is the same God today. And we know that God cares about our details big and small. So we sat there on a lounge chair in the wind and prayed and asked that God would calm the wind. That we would get to enjoy our one evening delighting in his awesome creation, the ocean, the beach, the white puffy clouds in the sky, the warm sun.
And by the time Jason came back from the store, it was settling down, and within an hour there was just a nice warm breeze and hot sun. We played all afternoon and sang praises loud from our hearts in the loud crashing waves and ate up every ounce of beauty around us.
Thank you Lord :)
