And I'm very aware that this blog hasn't been updated in a veeerrrryyy long time!! And I can assure that a lot of spectacularly life changing things have occurred within the last 2 and a half months, it is going to take a very long time to portray all that happened on this blog! Sooo this is where typical-procrastination prone Hannah kicks in and I'm going to tall you about VALENTINES DAY!! which was actually the most beautiful one I've ever had!! Oh my WORD!!
Soooo my YWAM school is now over and I am back home with my lovely family at the moment along with two beautiful Americans.... Hannah and Bec! And we've been having a lovely time doing... well... nothing much!!
HOWEVER... we did organize a small over night expedition down to the Marlborough Sounds... without realizing it... on VALENTINES DAY!! ... to stay at Mistletoe Bay... how rooommmaaannttiiiccc
Anyway... the morning of the 14th comes around and we all get up bright and early in order to catch our ferry across the great divide... and feel the gentle whisper of my love... and the creator of the universe in my ear... saying... "Hannah... I want to romance you all today... Let me romance you today...."
And this is how our day panned out...
Wow...
We board the ferry on just a perfect morning.... sun shining and the sea is just beautiful!!! And a pod of dolphins... like at least 50... start swimming alongside the boat... FLIP!! It was incredible!!!
Then we get to Picton and are having a lovely time... and head down to the harbour... and the entire harbour is just filled with krill!! Till the point where the water seemed to be red!! It was actually just the coolest thing!!
We were so excited... and Hannah goes... "OH my goodness!! They're baby lobsters!!" haha...
And all the while we get the gentle whisper in our ears... "This is for you my beloved!"
Man!! How is it that the God of the universe... who actually deserves to romanced by us!! To have all of our adoration and praise... would want to romance us!!! hahaha!! It blows my mind...
Wooooop!! Then we hop aboard the water taxi and have the most beautiful ride through the Sounds... and man... anyone who knows me, knows how I feel about the sea! So for me... this was perfect!
We arrive at sed destination... Mistletoe bay... set up camp and just have the most lovely afternoon lazing on the beach... swimming... catching ducklings.... eating chocolate and drinking wine straight from the bottle... (we are ALL class...) It was actually just the most perfect day!!
AND THEN...
Oh my...
Night time rolls around.... and we get the most incredible star display... complete with the milky way and multiple shooting stars.... but wait for it!!
The best bit is coming up!!!
We go down to the dock... and notice that the water is sparkling.... it was absolutely TEEMING with Fosflourescents!! ('scuse the awful spelling!)
For those of you who don't know what they are... you know in the movie Avatar....on that planet... it has those plants that light up when you touch them... it's like that but in the water...
You touch the water and some form of bacteria lights up and sparkles and it is flipping INCREDIBLE!!!
So... we got to swim in water which lit up every time you moved underneath a starlit night in the sea... We may or may not have gone skinny dipping....
AAARRGG! Thankyou Jesus....
Hahahaha... to me I can think of absolutely nothing more fabulously perfect!!.... and with such beautiful people aswell.... Jesus, I love you!!
So yeah.... that was Valentines Day... lalalala!
Enjoy this beautiful song by Gungor...
It's my favourite at the moment...
