God alone is Sovereign

1 Chronicles 29:11

Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O LORD, and you are exalted as head above all.

Gulf of Mexico

We arrived in the Gulf early Wednesday morning at 2am. After a short nap we were up at Zachary’s regular time 7am , tired but ready to go. Meemee and Granddaddy were already down at the condo and we all had a big breakfast. Around 10am Mommy, Meemee and Zachary headed off to the beach, while Granddaddy rested in the condo and I had to do some work.



The ocean had a red flag (strong currents) and purple flag (marine life), but that did not stop the crowds from coming out to soak in the rays. Zachary had a wonderful time playing in the ocean and then came back for his mid afternoon nap. I got wrapped up with work about the same time as nap time, so I headed off for the beach with Meemee. I was able to relax and read about 7 chapters of a new book I just started (Out of the Comfort Zone by Ray Comfort).


Around 2pm Mommy and Zachary came back down to the beach and we had a great time. We walked about 1000 yards down the beach to a small lake and played in the water for about 30 minutes before heading back. Zachary enjoyed watching the surf come in and go back out, and loved throwing his ball in the ocean. I figured out how to keep him going in the right direction without physically making him. I would roll his ball in the direction we were heading, and Zachary would take off running after it. I love watching him learn how to run. He is 18 months old now and I think the cutest baby in the world. I am not proud or anything…



After Zachary went down for the night Wednesday Tina and I were able to go for a sunset walk on the beach. We had a great time watching the sunset and just talking and walking. Wednesday ended up being a wonderful day!

Today started off looking like rain. We took off to the ocean around 9am and were able to play for only about 15 minutes before the bottom dropped out. It poured and we had to flee back towards the condo. We were able to go a play for a short time in the pool, before heading back in for Zachary’s mid day nap. Once Zachary was up from his nap, Mommy and Meemee were off again to the beach, while Granddaddy rested and I caught up on some much needed sleep. From what I understand Zachary enjoyed the beach better this afternoon than yesterday and they had a wonderful time. The rest of the day was very relaxing and we are looking forward to Friday and hopefully slightly better weather.
