Where has the time gone..

So for those of you still following along with me, I want to apologize for being MIA from the blogosphere.

I would like to say that the only reason I have been missing is because I have been willingly and selflessly out sharing the gospel at maximum capacity, or that I have been having life-changing experiences that have hindered me from using my phalanges to type.

But the sad truth is, is that I have just been plain old lazy.

My time and mental state had been stretched in ways that I never thought possible the past few weeks. I could sit here and re-hash EVERYTHING I've learned and done, but that would take a very long time.

So my goal/ idea is to do a continuous update and reference my time here and fill you in, in the weeks to come.

Cherry Grove

Cherry Grove is a beach a few miles down from where we are staying in North Myrtle Beach. 

My phone had been acting up (this has a point, I promise) and would shut off when I tried taking a picture of the ocean or my breathtaking surroundings; every single time. As an aspiring photographer this was very frustrating to me. 

I then began deleting old photos I thought I wouldn't miss. 87 photos later, I again attempted to take a picture. This time I tried something a little more creative. This is what I captured.

My pure excitement of my phone in ally working, was quickly overshadowed by the haunting Ora given off by the picture.

(Mind you there is no editing or altering of the photo)

The seemingly never ending boardwalk, got me thinking if my walk with Christ. I alway find myself running down the hall or boardwalk trying to reach the end and attain my goal; in trying to win a race that has an eternal outcome. 

I'm constantly striving to be the best Christian or the wisest or the nicest. But I never take the time I listen I what God wants me to do. Ephesians 5:10 says "try to discern what is pleasing to The Lord." Notice it doesn't say "Hey, Caitlyn. Pick your path, do what you want and it doesn't matter what I think." No. God has a plan for each and every one of us and it's our job to listen to Him and ask what He wants of us. 

God knows your heart better than anyone. He will stretch it in ways you never thought possible. Talk to Him. Listen to Him. And He will give you the answers. (Proverbs 3:5-6)

As always, peace, love and blessings.
