Myrtle Beach – Flip Flop Fellowship

Rosh Hashanah means head of the new year. It’s a new beginning in Judaism, a new era, if you will. It’s customary to toss sea shells, bread crumbs, or even rose petals into a body of water because the Book of Micah speaks to God hurling our sins into the sea (forgiveness – new beginning – Micah 7:18-20). As such, I went to Myrtle Beach State Park to toss sea shells into the sea. I also went for another easy walk in nature there. Afterwards, at home, I continued to reflect on the Jewish prayers, poems, and essays in my Reform Judaism siddur (prayer book). It was a beautiful, refreshing day, enjoying the Creator and creation! Here’s to another fresh start… Another year to live, love, and learn what God wants to teach us.☝️🍎🙏

Shana Tova (good year)!

Recently, I felt the Lord call me to the beach. Specifically, Myrtle Beach. Initially, I resisted, but eventually gave in. Turns out this mountain girl favored the beach for once! Not that I am opposed to any beach (except Ocean City, MD…to me that is, Ocean Pity!). In general, I prefer the woods over sand, but to my surprise I thoroughly enjoyed myself at Myrtle Beach. The last time I was there I was just a kid and all I really remember is getting caught in a wave’s undertow. Not too fun!

Nevertheless, while there, per the Lord’s leading, I even got to prophecy and pray for a pastor as well as an unsuspecting, but receptive woman. Both seemed to be pleased with the love of the Lord through prophetic prayer.

That is what it is about! Going where He leads even though you don’t know why or what it will look like. Just go! Consequently, I see in my future beach evangelism, prophecy, free hugs, praying for people, leading worship on the beach, and baptisms in the Atlantic. How cool would that be?

If you haven’t been to Myrtle Beach, it is a gem.
