Cabo San Lucas

On Friday, April 18th Travis and I went to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico for a four day getaway. It was the first trip we had made as a couple since Jacob was born. It was a much needed vacation and we had a fantastic time. I posted a picture of Travis with his big catch of the trip, a Striped Marlin. The story behind the picture is amazing. Travis loves to fish. When planning the trip to Cabo, Travis really wanted to fish for Marlin in the “Marlin capital of the world”. Even though it was more than what we wanted to pay, we decided to do it anyway. Saturday morning I prayed we would see a marlin or that Travis would catch one. The fishing guides told us it wasn’t even marlin season so we didn’t know if we would see one or not. As you can tell from the pictures, we not only saw a marlin, but each one of us caught a marlin!! Travis was so excited; seemed even more excited over my catch, than his own, and it was worth every penny to see Travis enjoy something he loves to do. God is blessed us on this trip and I am reminded of the verse that my youth pastor, James Darby, spoke to us on December 18th:

"Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine………"

Our God has done this in so many ways we can hardly keep up, but this time it was with a fish.
