the beach

hello hello. i am back. i have been down at the beach - mccrae and safety beach since friday and have got home tonight! 4 glorious days and nights away. it was really great to have a break and even get some sun and go swimming!!! annie, jayne, cath and i went down friday night and stayed up till 5am just chatting. that was good. sat we just hung out. then sunday was the same. jayne and annie went home sunday night to go to work on monday. cath and i went to the caravan and hung out with merf and rick, lou and al were down as well. monday i went and visited jodie (from school) and her new baby heath. then came back to go and lie in the sun on the beach. annie came back monday night. we got up this morning and headed back down the beach and jayne came back down and brought aaron and luke with her. cath came over too. more beach time. the weather was perfect. we then headed down to sorrento for dinner then made our way home. it was great to hang out with friends and do nothing!

while i was away my favourite brother in law had a birthday - HAPPY BIRTHDAY HIL!!!

during one of my walks/jogs on the beach - which by the way, i have decided that long walks on the beach are not romantic by any means, they are actually hard work - anyway, i stopped and just looked out to the sea (well the bay, but you can't see the other side so it's ok). it made me think - what a little dot on this earth i am. i thought of that song 'your love oh Lord is like the oceans, deeper than endless seas'. if God loves me more than the oceans, then that is A LOT. i will never be able to comprehend that. the God that created this world, loves me.

since i got home i was just doing some reading and it talk about how if it is beyond us how much God can love, then it is also beyond us how much God can hurt too. think about that. it's nice to think that God can love us more than we imagine, but not really so nice that God can hurt more than we can imagine.

(two things to finish 1. michael vartan is in melbourne - i love him, he's vaughn in alias, my favourite show 2. kylie angland - there you go, you got a mention)
