Ditto Mara’s comment, she was just a wee little girl when I started reading! Happy Birthday, Mia!

She sure was. 8 years went by in a wink. Thank you!

Hi! I stumbled across your blog tonight looking for ideas for my son’s surf themed party. I just wanted to say that you are beautifully gifted writer! I nearly teared up at your words for your daughter. Happy birthday Mia

Thank you Marie!! Welcome!

goodness. She wasn’t even 3 when I started reading your blog– still nursing. Has it been that long already? Happy birthday!

It has! Isn’t that crazy? I can’t believe she is 8!

Hi Jodi,

I couldn’t see anywhere to leave a comment on your blog so I hope you get this here. I really enjoyed your new post and seeing your precious Mia growing up. She is truly beautiful!

I hope all the other kids are doing fine. I know they are growing rapidly as well! I guess your oldest is probably finishing up high school at this point, right? My oldest is about to finish her Jr year and it blows my head right off my shoulders!

All the best,
Leeann

Leeann! Thank you! I have been so lame about posting and reading the last couple of years. All the kids are doing great. Your oldest and mine are the same age, as Cory is just finishing u phis junior year too! SAT’s this month and college applications around the corner. Blows my head off too!!!

Now that is what stopping and smelling the “roses” or beach is all about. soaking in the ones we love and falling in love just a little more each time. Being thankful that you found someone that loves you flaws and all just as you love him flaws and all.

Wonderful post. Thank you for sharing.
Jackie

Thank you Lori, Kriste and Brandy! I too agree that there is so much comfort in the formality of church and being with fellow believers. I miss it when we do not go and I know our church misses us. I think they are worried because we have not been going. I plan on trying a new church that is right near where we surf. It would be great to attend, then head to the beach for some one on one worship as well!

What a wonderful post. I agree wholeheartedly! While I am a regular church goer, and I find tremendous support in meeting with like-minded people and partaking the emblems of His death on a regular basis, I agree that profound spiritual moments can happen when we are out in nature, too! I loved reading this post and felt like I was with you, having wonderful experiences in the ocean. You have such a way with words. My mom has always said that canoeing on a peaceful lake is her “church”.

I think the key is to find the peace, and the quiet and then to make oneself humble enough to be in tune with the Spirit. You’ve hit the nail on the head here!
