Taking a pause from my usual poetry posts, I need to reflect on the awesome works of God. I 'm currently vacationing in the most tropical place in America, Hawaii. I'm from the desert, so this whole experience is jaw-dropping. The numbers of people here, the shops and markets, the fruit-----wonderous! But the most amazing thing I have found here are the waves!

   In many of my poems I have compared God to the ocean, but never before have I seen the sea. I DIDN'T FULLY KNOW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT! Yes I admit it, I was totally oblivious to the power and might of the sea.

    David too talked about the sea in his Psalms. I have no idea if he ever saw the ocean first hand, but nevertheless the amount of times he referres to it is mind-boggleing. I chalenge anyone who wants to, to go through Psalms 90-100 and count the times the ocean, the sea or the waves/waters are mentioned. Then comment me!

   Please remember that God's creation is so much bigger than just your hometown. I learned that this month. HE IS SO CREATIVE! Our God shows His might through His works! I love Him all the more for it! When I'm in the ocean, being tossed about, I think what a Perfect God I have!

    In our travels here in Oahu, we went to The Valley of The Temples, where we toured a Japenese Temple. A huge golden Buddah sat in the middle of the place. He was big AND  intemidating. But the ocean is so much more so! Imagine-if God can create the ocean-with billions of fish, coral and plants, than He Himself must be even more Grand and Powerful! A stupid idol can't even move-could it create a drop of water...no! Our God is alive and working! If you've ever seen the waters our Lord has made, then you know what I'm talking about!

Love you all-God Bless you
