Sitting here in Hawaii, in my beautiful bedroom, looking at my fantastic view of our inner courtyard, and listening to the rain. Oh wait, it's not raining anymore. Just kidding now it's raining again...(not really.. but seriously, the next time someone tells me the weather in Texas is bipolar, I am going to laugh.)
I feel so blessed to be here. Every 2 inches there is a new kind of flower, the sunrise is so magnificent it makes you cry, and absolutely everything is green and in full bloom. Being here is a constant reminder of God's love for us in that He didn't have to make everything so beautiful, but He did anyway. Living in nature's blowdryer, I think sometimes I forget that. The only bad part is that I have to go home today... (although I am starting to have Mexican food withdrawals...;))
We have done so many amazing things in just 6 days that it just blows my mind to think about it all! We have seen over a dozen waterfalls, a double rainbow, witnessed dolphins jumping in the air and doing flips in the ocean, rode in a boat to go snorkeling (that part didn't go over too well with my stomach..), and saw steam come straight out of the ground!
This trip has been a much needed reminder of God's glory and the beauty that surrounds us. I am dreading going home and getting ready for school and being in 465 degree weather, but it's all good. I can handle it now that I have pictures of beaches and whales to look at.
