ali's Corner. [Coast to Coast]

Before coming to Florida,
during my quiet times,
I prayed to God that this trip would be an escape.

That I'd have an opportunity
to have an encounter with Him.
To rest.
&& to heal.

I'll be honest,
my faith has been at a low lately.
I couldn't tell you why,
Or maybe I could if I thought really hard.

Today while laying on the beach,
the David Crowder Band Christian station
was playing on Pandora Radio,
the seagulls were swooping down over the water
the gentle waves violently crashing,
the heat of the sun kissing the top of my skin,
and the warm coastal breeze embracing
my body like long arms,
I heard a whispered,
"I love you."

My heart fell to the sand.
Tears immediately flooded my eyes.
A smile came across my face
and I looked up.

I saw seven birds flying in a perfect pattern.
Weaving in and out of each other's path.
Like planes at an airshow.
Had they rehearsed this
synchronized flying?

Oh, the beauty that my God created.
