all day beach day

To the first time we spent a whole day at the beach, like we used to do in Jersey when we were teenagers. It was a good day. :)

Del Mar with friends

A few weeks ago we met up with Ang, Jon and Nathan at the beach in the late afternoon. Del Mar has become one of our favorite beaches because it is SO pretty and the train runs right through the coast, so it's super fun to see. One thing that has grown on me about the Californian lifestyle is that since the beach is so accessible, you can go any time of day for a walk, swim or just to hang out or watch the sunset. In Jersey, beach days were just that - an all day occasion, and I loved that! Here I've grown to love the days we just pass through to watch the sun go down ad carry on about our day. On this day we (well mostly Nathan) splashed through the water and we hung out by the sea until the sun set into the ocean. Here are some of my favorite memories!

^ I mean!! That face! ^

A pretty nice place to have a conversation if I do say so myself. ;)

waving hi to the train going by!

kisses!

Do you see His tears?

Jesus is weeping with us.

Do you see His tears?

He's weeping with our nation

For every childhood that's been taken

For every home that is now vacant 

Because of color

Because of hatred

Jesus is weeping with us.

Do you see His tears?

With the boyfriend who lost their boyfriend

With the wife left to raise a family alone

With the brother who's brother was slaughtered

With the friend who's squad just got smaller

Jesus is weeping with us.

Do you see His tears?

He is weeping with us ALL

Last night we laid on the couch in disbelief, well into the morning hours. When we woke up today, the news was still tragic and somber and shocking to say the least. All I could muster as I read through so many posts on fb regarding this weeks tragedies was this poem. Because #blacklivesmatter and Jesus modeled this for us.
