This past weekend I took a trip to a beach and National Park about 3 hours from San Jose with a group of girls from the school. Thankfully the place that we booked for lodging ended up being a nice place. It was a short trip but a good break from being in the city. I loved the National Park where Iguanas darted across the path two feet from you and monkeys fought with each other a stone’s throw away. I did actually get in the ocean too in spite of all of the warnings we received during orientation of riptides, jellyfish, and sting rays. The waves were not in the least bit tranquil but a friend taught me to dive into them instead of ride them out and in the middle of the wave there is a bit more peace. One of my favorite parts of the weekend was sitting on the beach Sunday morning with one of the girls while reading from the Psalms about God’s power and purposes and their greatness in comparison to that of the ocean with its mighty waves and breakers.
