Sunday
Today was the day…
Mike and I returned to Scarborough Beach. We were there in July last year, when Mike felt compelled to pray. He got this inkling that the challenges in getting our plans passed would now melt away and things would get easier. So we sat on the rocks and prayed for that. That was Sunday 21st July 2019. It was a beautiful winter’s day and we took this pic..
Fast forward to today…spot the difference!
I think when Google reminds me of this day in a year’s time, we’ll either shake our heads remembering the masks and social distancing, OR, we’ll say, “I can’t believe we are STILL doing this!”
But it was still a beautiful winter’s day and the beach was buzzing with locals enjoying the weather, the sand and the sea.
This was our view from the rocks.
We thanked the Lord for how far we have got. It’s crazy to think that it may be next month that we could possibly start moving in. That still sounds ambitious but maybe it will be October.
We got home at just about lunchtime and I was able to Skype with Stacey and Elsie who is still beyond adorable with her toddler babble and reference to us as Granny and Blampa. David came for lunch which was great as well.
We had a quiet afternoon and are now geared up for the week ahead.

Proverbs 4:6
Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you.
The best is yet to come.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
