Get out of that Funk

Well... like I said. I had been in a funk all day today. I know part of it had to do with the guests I have here. There is a such thing as common curtesy. What do you think entitles you to be rude to me? I am a human being. I have feelings...

Anyways.. total funk. I know what it had to do with mostly, but I'm not that girl. I never thought I would be the type to get in a funk because of such a silly reason. When did I become this girl? When did I start to think about these things? silly.

So.. tonight Mrs. Ruth and I went to Flamingo Beach to watch the sunset and get some boogie boarding in. We took a few pics, and then I headed out with the board. The waves were coming in stages of large and then a break for a while. I finally get past the break, and we have a lull in waves. I started to paddle in because there was a big one to catch. Well, it ended up being huge, and not only did it catch me, but it flipped me in every direction possible. First, it head slammed me into the sand flooring. Mostly had a hurt jaw, but now my neck and body are sore. Then it tossed me to and fro. I could not find the surface for air. I was also struggling to find my swimsuit bottoms at my ankles. I finally broke the surface, and was trying to pull my swimsuit on, and look for the boogie board. Some guy was coming to see if i was ok, and i was still trying to get my swimsuit on. So.. the big waves just kept on coming. Hardest workout of my life to get the board and get back to shore. I went back out without the board and it was a little easier, but still large scary waves. I was caughing up salt water all evening. My whole body got exfoliated. So.. I almost drown. yup. it was awesome. i love boogie boarding.

My near death experience, along with the most incredible sunset I have ever experienced, brought me out of my funk. Reminded me of what I do have right here in front of me. To appreciate everything that God gives me. He will give me the desires of my heart. Right now, my heart is desiring some incredible things, and I'm being patient waiting for them to be given to me. My God is truly an incredible, powerful, magnificent God. I love to worship and praise him.

Throughout this tough day, I have had the song Amazing Love stuck in my head. Not sure why, but I have always loved this song. It means so much, and speaks exactly what I think I was thinking about today.

Amazing Love
How can it be
That, you, my God
would die for me?

This just kept playing over and over in my head today. That is an incredible love that I get to experience everday. My pray is that my friends and family feel this love as well. I can not wait for our day in Heaven, and the Love we will be filled with in His presence. I am truly blessed, and out of my funk.
