God's Masterpiece and a Miracle

Last weekend Josh and I went into town, a.k.a. Honolulu, for a date. It had been raining the night before and a little that day. When we got to Kaneohe, about half way there, the mountains were covered in waterfalls! It was incredible. Words cannot express how stunning it was. There was somewhere between 20 and 30 waterfalls. The clouds hung low against the tops of the luscious green landscape.

I call Hawaii "God's masterpiece." It is the most beautiful place I have ever seen. I love the people, the cultures, the land, the sea, and just about everything about it. It will be hard to leave this paradise but I am eternally grateful for every moment spent here. Seeing all of the breathtaking waterfalls made me feel so overwhelmingly blessed to have the chance to live in Hawaii, meet the man of my dreams, and start our eternal family.
God is so good to us. We are so blessed.

That night when driving we drove over a lot of debris on the road from the incredibly high tide. We had 3 lights come on our dashboard. Just to have the car checked Firestone was going to charge us $230. We decided to wait and see if the light stayed on the next day before committing to pay that much. We said many prayers that the sand and rocks got kicked up under the car and the lights would not come back on. The next morning none of the lights came on. Oh God is so good to us. We are so thankful that we did not spend all that money to find out nothing was wrong or even worse to find out that something was really wrong!
There are miracles in our lived everyday, we just have to look for them.
