I always say that the ocean is my soul place. I love the peacefulness I feel when staring at the deep blue water and the sound of the rhythmic waves rolling in. Pristine white sand for kilometres on end and the vast expanse of water that changes colour by the second. 
It doesn't matter what sort of mood Im in when I arrive at the beach as I always leave relaxed and calm 
There is so much power in the ocean and it is something to be admired but also respected. I feel God is right there with me and I take in all the beauty He has made.

)The Gold Coast is about a 40 minute drive from where we live. We love to have holidays there and have gone every year since I was 9 years old.
In July last year our home got flooded and we spent 3 1/2 months at the Q1. 
The tallest resendential building in the Southern Hemisphere! 
Most of our time we stayed on the 68th floor and the views were spectacular!
