Here's to an Ocean I can't even see

I went down to Venice beach the other night to show Dawns dad the ocean and have a nice dinner at C&O trattoria. It was so crazy because it was so clear all the way there until we hit highway 90 and all of the sudden everything was dark and cloudy... Almost like there was going to be a tornado, I have never seen anything like it here in California. We continued on and made our way to the beach and walked the pier, where the clouds and fog was so thick you could hardly see the water unless you were right up to it. It actually was kinda rad though, had an epic feeling come over me as I sat on that pier, thought about my dreams and my family and where I was... I was at one of my favorite places, the ocean.. Yet from the shore I couldn't even see the water.
Sometimes I get crazy discouraged that in rapid and heart filled pursuit of my dreams I have reached a standstill... Like so many times you get so close to something yet you don't quite get to it... But then there are days like today, where you realize that even though you can't see the ocean from the shore, its still there, and its absolutely within reach even if its not within sight... There to serve as a reminder to you that no matter how dark the day may seem, its still beautiful,
and hope will always overcome a seemingly discouraging reality.. Because you can do anything if you never give up. You can alter your reality.

I really believe, with all of my heart that the next few months of my life are going to be very defining in my life, so please pray for me as I, with my family and close friends, seek to love God more, reach more people for him, and reach an ocean of dreams not even close to site in reality, but in my heart I am already there.
