There is was poking outta the warm soft sand. Exactly what I was looking for the perfect rock. I wasn't sure what I was looking for ,but when I saw it, I knew it was the one that would be perfect for our family vacation shadow box.
I spent some time walking along the beach looking for this rock. Noah helped and with each rock he would come across he would ask the question.. "Is this the one?" Nope keep looking we will find it son! Growing tired he said "Mommy can't we just pick one they are all the same."
Ahhhh then it was on of those moments, you know the teachable ones that are to good to pass up.. So I grabbed a few rocks and the one that was to be displayed in our box. And the conversation went a little like this...
"You see son, yes they are all rocks, yet there are different in shapes and sizes. And although they are all great rocks, this one (pointing to our rock) is perfect, because it is the one we chose for our family. There is no other rock on this beach that is the same, like you and me, that makes us wonderfully made and special."
On the four hour drive home I had time to reflect on our time. I also thought alot about the rocks on the beach. I thought about how each rock had a story on how it ended up on the warm sandy shore of Pismo Beach. Some were smooth, perhaps rode a nice peaceful current to shore. Others looked a little rough around the edges, maybe it was tossed to and fro from the breaking current.
I wasn't sure how it got there, but one thing I knew for sure was that no two rocks were the same. And although each rock was special in its own, the one I choose was perfect, because we choose it for our family purpose.
Think about that for a second... We all have a story on how we got to the place were we are today. Some seasons have been smooth sailing and other times we have marks to show the breaking current. But out of all the "Rocks" on the shore God choose you.
I have to tell you.... We are not chosen because we are perfect, but we are perfect because we are chosen. God has a purpose and a plan for each one of us. Jeremiah 29:11 says that He has plans for us, that is for a hope and a future. Are you called? Do you know your purpose? Do you know that you are special and wonderfully made? Do you know know that there is no one else out there is exactly the same as you?
I hope you do, I am praying for you. I am praying that you would embrace whatever it is that God is calling you to do and know that outta everyone here on earth, God choose you!
Wanted to share some pictures of our family trip!!!!
