Bella Espresso... BE!

The hike down the hill was steep. My slip-on flats slid down the muddy path and my tiny flashlight barely illuminated tree roots in the darkness of the trees. I wondered if anyone else in the group questioned whether it was worth the hike or not.
...Doubt...

After rounding one of the slick switchbacks, the trees opened just enough to take in the beautiful scene. The silhouettes of the rock formations in the ocean were blanketed by an array of winking stars. The chilly sea air, crashing of the distant waves, and crackling bonfire beckoned me farther down the trail.
...Breath-taking...

Once I hit the beach, I took of my shoes and let my toes run through the cool sand. A couple girls and I strolled under the canopy of stars we had never seen before, amazed at the glorious setting.
...Extravagance...

The guys piled more and more driftwood onto the powerful bonfire. It was such a warm environment- everyone laughing or sharing stories about their lives. The night was well worth the hike!
...Friendship...

This morning a group of girls moseyed over to Bella Espresso for coffee before walking to church. After ordering, we sat at a table with an autograph book for the coffee shop. When I saw the cover, I felt such an amazing feeling of confirmation from God... He is so personal... so real... and I am confident in His leading... Because He can use something as simple as the initials of a coffee shop to speak to me!
...BE...
