Miguel and I were blessed with a little weekend getaway to San Carlos this year. This was our view from the patio of the place we rented.
I was also blessed by my sweet hubby driving all the way there and back.
I just got to relax and enjoy the ride! :)
Friday evening we took a little walk to explore the beach. There were rocky parts and sandy parts. I liked that...a little bit of both! Here we are standing on the rocks. Our house was up on the bank over a little cliff.
On Saturday, we spent most of the day at the beach and walked down it to the area in the photo above. You might be able to see a cave in the center of the photo. Anyways...the sea was very calm and we swam/walked out to where that cave was and there were lots of rocks with sea urchins and green plants. The rocks dropped off in front of the cave and there were lots of yellow and black fish. We even saw a few blue fish. It was an exciting discovery!
In the late afternoon we drove out to the "lookout." Here are a few views!
It's the first time we've been to San Carlos over a weekend and there were definitely more people. There was a fruit stand by the lookout so we got a big glass. It had coconut, pineapple, mango, cantaloupe, watermelon, and cucumber. Then we added lime juice, chili powder and chamoy! A Mexican dream!
The lady we rented from lent us her grill and we had some steak tacos Saturday evening.
Sunday we traveled back home.
So thankful for such a nice little trip!
Have any of you heard of Sara Hagerty’s new book, Adore? I am enjoying it. The message of the book is to use our “middle minutes” (little times in the day) to adore God. The second half of the book has chapters that guide you in adoring God, focusing on His different characteristics.
Right now I am in the chapter of Adoring God as “My Strength.” I don’t always do well at really taking the time to let the verses sink in. At first glance, my verse today was so familiar and yet as I pondered it, it came to life in new ways! Maybe the thoughts that came to me can inspire you as they inspired me!
“The Lord is my Strength and Song, and is become my Salvation.” Psalm 118:14
Adoration:
Lord, You are my Strength! Through You, we do what we feel is impossible, what would be impossible without Your Strength.
And as we see what You do in Your strength, what You do in us, we are amazed. You become our Song. You become our Joy. And "the joy of the Lord is our Strength.”
And so as You give us Joy, your Strength is multiplied in us. And as we cycle through strength and song, through joy that becomes strength and strength that gives joy, we are saved. We are saved from fear, hopelessness, complacency, and besetting sins.
I adore You for being my Strength and Song and for becoming my Salvation!
