I recently went to the Black Sea to visit our kids from the orphanage... it was a rainy, cloudy and cold day, but it didn't keep us from having a good time and even getting our feet wet! It was a wonderful time to be with the kids outside of the orphanage; they were able to take a week long vacation at the sea through state funding. And for me, a California girl it felt a lot like the beaches I miss so much back home and was comforting to dip my feet in the waves. The beach has always been a calming and comforting place for me and God brought this trip just when I needed it most.
