Kylie Woodrum "Beach View"

During the semester my friends and I took a weekend trip to Virginia Beach. My friends preferred to stay inside the hotel because of the frigid weather, but I enjoyed just sitting on the beach despite the cold breeze. Most people don't think of a beach as a sacred place, but I find a sense of peace whenever I'm sitting in the sand watching the waves crash against the shore. I can feel the presence and power of God as he looks down over all of his creation. I imagine how he envisioned his creations when he made the seas so they would meet the land creating a perfect getaway. Even as people were walking by me, I was lost in my own thoughts, numb to the happenings of the world around me.
