I spend time with God every single day while I'm in (or at) the ocean. Without fail.
One evening I was on the tranquil ocean in a kayak at sunset with brilliant clouds all around, birds flying as though they were hovering only a foot above the water, friends behind me, and the Ecuadorian coastline stretching all around. I looked north and saw a partial rainbow.
I was silenced and invigorated.

What else could I possibly ask for?
There are a thousand glorious moments to be had each day, albeit many are not so picturesque.
I am tremendously blessed.
Truthfully, in that moment I acknowledged I wish to be married. I want to meet my life partner. I desire companionship. Yet in the present moment I am overwhelmed with the vibrant experience I am having in Ecuador.
Before I left the US, I remember feeling like my experience of God did not reflect what the Bible says it ought to be.
But now- It's like I somehow won this jackpot of blessings, a karma, that "Well done, my good and faithful servant!" An elusive moment realized.
(LOL) It's like God gave me a six week vacation as thanks for the years working on the video project ( www.projectdigno.org )
I know "it doesn't work like that," but I can't help but observe the irony.
I am truly a blessed woman of the Lord.
