Return From The Sea
Sunset Over the Bay
Well, I am back from my week of silence by the sea. I have come to expect awesome things from God during these days and He never disappoints me. The weather was beautiful, the sunrises and sunsets breath taking. I heard Him in everything and everywhere.
Thomas Merton proved to be a wonderful teacher and spiritual director of sorts for me. I read his Thoughts in Solitude and A Book of Hours which served as a wonderful prayer book. His writings also inspired my own.
I have lots to share and will do so little by little. Some of my writng/journaling took the form of reflections. I do plan to share them with all of you, but not sure how yet~maybe in the form of an e~book or as a stand alone page on this blog.
The first thing I will share is a slideshow I put together from the pictures I took. Some came out better than others. (Keep in mind they were taken with my camera phone) The music is Seventh Day Slumber's Oceans From the Rain and Chris Tomlin's Glory in the Highest. The slideshow loops so that you get to hear all of Chris Tomlin's beautiful song. There are 40 slides in all.
Thank you to all of you who kept me in your prayers this past week~know that they were answered and bore much spiritual fruit which I hope to use to God's glory.
Enjoy the pictures, the Scripture and the music...

Mary, Thanks for taking the time to view the slide show. I'm glad you thought the Scripture verses fit-after awhile of looking for the right ones, I wasn't sure. (Thank God for Douay-Rheims online; it made things a little easier.)The rocks scattered on the beach looked like God's gem shop. There were tons of them and I brought a few home to add to my collection.
Living in perpetual wonder at the Glory of God~now that is something to look forward to!
God bless you as well.

Thank you for all that spiritual generosity! I would say that much fruit came of those prayers.
I am still working on the reflections that seemed to write themselves during those days-getting them organized to post as a booklet of sorts. it is a bigger project than I anticipated. Hopefully I will have it done by the end of next week.
Thanks for the welcome back, but trying to keep a little of me there by the sea.
I must have really needed it! Thanks again:)
