Finding myself without any plans on a Friday evening and after being slightly mocked for my little driving sessions, I decided to go for a walk along Southend sea front tonight. It was freezing!!!!! Beautiful but freezing!
I thought I could get the best of both worlds, by have a drive down there with my music full blast and then peaceful, reflective prayer time whilst walking along the sea front.
I thought I could get the best of both worlds, by have a drive down there with my music full blast and then peaceful, reflective prayer time whilst walking along the sea front. There is something truly amazing about the sea late at night, the tranquility of the rolling waves cascading on the shore and the wind blowing against your face - it was a true time-stopper. People were rushing past getting ready for their nights out, while I just stood and stared out onto the vast sea.
Walking further down the amusement lights brought such vibrant colours to the sea and sky - the usual annoying songs playing and the laughter coming from within these places really filled me with warmth and happiness.
Out by the sea, in the cold air gives a brand new perspective on the world. It brings a new level of true awe and thankfulness to God as creator. The tiniest, intricate details He planned. He knows every grain of sand on which I stepped upon. He knows every single person I passed. He guided me and opened my eyes to things I had not come across before.
The walk gave me a real sense of fulfilment.
