A wonderful Friday and my occupation is truly on the move?

It's been a wonderful day here. The ocean was just the right temp in spite of the air temp being around 106F.

And, our morning place of choice for prayer was excellent. Today was important day on the calendar; do you know why? Anyhow...Because we have so many from so many different places, the message was a bit creative. There were tables scattered about with very large maps of specific regions of the globe. All regions of the globe were represented somewhere. Everyone was to go and stand by the map representing where they were originally from. Prayers were then offered for each specific globe locale. Truly, this was awesome. I can't go into all the detail, but it was so moving some were in tears. Especially those who have left war torn countries for the safety of where we all now reside. We are all so grateful to live in such a fabulous safe and tolerant place. If you are interested in knowing more, please email me. I'm having trouble getting into words at the moment.

The munchkins had a lovely time 'snorkeling' today. We found a giant sea turtle floatie at a local grocery store. It is large enough for two kids and has two handles for hanging on. The munchkins took turns jumping off of it in the deep water and/or just hanging their heads over looking for fish. The video for today is from our lovely afternoon.

I had an opportunity recently to speak with a lady from the same home country as me. We spoke about what may be an excellent opportunity for me to do some volunteer work. I (or at least my skills and background) may be the answer to some serious 'wishing' of some ladies and teenagers. So, please be thinking about me as I look at broadening my horizons, so to speak.

Really, as I sat on the beach today with my awesome husband beside me watching our kids swim like little otters as they chased the schools of little fish, I thought how wonderful my life is. I never dreamt I would be living where I am and have the work/volunteer opportunities that I have here. I only hope that I can rise to the tasks before me. I am so grateful for all the opportunities and all the wonderful people in my life.

Chris Z: if you're reading this.....it's kinda funny. Do you remember in the BC days (before children) when you stayed with us for a while? We'd sit and listen to a specific guitarist's music and contemplate the 'post university experience' among other things? Well, I'm listening to the same CD now and contemplating similar things. Kinda weird. Or, maybe not.

Peace.
