During our week in J-bay we got to experience some awesome adventures, as well as enjoy relaxing times. There was time for reading on the beach, shopping and going for coffee but also partaking in new adventures. The first morning after arriving, we went horseback riding on the beach. I wasn’t overly excited about it at first, but it ended up totally blowing me away! We galloped with the sun on our backs, up and down rolling sand dunes, and splashed at the oceans edge. As I was riding and watching the wave’s crash I couldn’t get over that OUR God created them with all their beauty and power. This just made me realize even more how insanely creative and powerful He is. That if God took as much time and care as He did in making the waves and the beauty surrounding me, how much more would He care for me and who I’m becoming in him.
We also got to go surfing! It was so much fun to be able to learn an activity that the people of the area enjoy and love to participate in on a regular basis. There were three steps to be able to stand on the board...and most people got up! It was so much fun to begin to pick up on it in only a short time. If I ever get another chance, I’d love to keep working at it until it becomes natural and I can enjoy it to its fullest.
Those couple of days were a much needed break to relax and re-fuel, but it was also awesome to be able to have new, exciting experiences.
