My Moment In Greece

My moment in Greece began when I arrived in Rhodes. The moment I saw the water, the deep rich mesmerizing blue, I knew that I would never want to leave this place. Our hotel was right off the beach and I could have spent every second there gazing out at the water. When looking at the water I felt as if my soul was opening up to God, I felt connected to God through the beauty that he had created. How could there be anything less but a powerful and almighty God that had created this beautiful, formidable, and vast water before me? This unfathomable vibrant blue water made me feel not only connected to God and in a state of peaceful content but I was also in a state of wonderment at this absolute beauty before me.

The experiences in Rhodes only got better time went on, which would make it all the more difficult to leave. We would take a treacherous ferry ride to the island of Symi, but all the fear and sickness would be worth the beauty that I would behold. The water would have the same effect on me as it did in Rhodes, only this time I had other wondrous sites to behold has well. When I had climbed to the top of the city it was a breathtaking site full of Greek houses and the hills framing one side while the vast sea framed the other. It was a site to behold. I could only marvel at the beauty that lay before me.

I was again struck by the beauty of the water at Rhodes. It was late at night, the sky was dark, but somehow the still seemed illuminated. There was a lightening storm occurring right before my eyes. I could see the bolts as they hit the water and illuminated the sky. It was such a powerful experience because it was if the water was impenetrable by these powerful bolts. The bolts were persistent but the water could hold its own and was unfazed. It was such a contrast to see the lightening bolts and the water together, these two powerful natures created by God butting heads.

These were my moments in Greece because I felt a connection with the place around me and the God who had created it. These are the most beautiful experiences in life, and makes life worth living for.
