kayaking

i attended the coolest wedding last weekend. it was my boss's wedding. our company took vans to the virgin island beach resort in batangas. everything was great. the accommodations, the ceremony, the food, the fireworks, and the beach. but i didn't take my camera out on the first day so i could really experience the moments.

there were things that troubled me then. like losing my sim card amidst all the sand. on the way to the party after the reception, my cabin mates and i got side-tracked. we soon found ourselves on the white reclining chairs, star-gazing and moon-bathing. it made me ponder on the majesty of the Creator of the beautiful night sky. and i realized just how little my problems were compared to how big He is. the wind was wonderful and i dozed to sleep.

the next day, we took pictures of jump shots and waded in the water. and went kayaking. we signed waivers then we were good to go. we had life vests on so we didn't worry about drowning.

there were three major challenges.

the first is leaving the shore. the second is going in the direction you want. and the third is recognizing progress.

the first had to do with courage and strength. the second with coordination for a beautiful rhythm and perseverance in going against the flow. and the third had to do with hope and truth.

let's just say they have a lot to do with the life i want to pursue, the one found only in Christ. He can calm the wind and the waves to keep the kayak called life from capsizing. He gave us life vests along with the kayaks, but we have a choice whether to accept or not.

God bless! ^_^
