<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nCabo is my family\u2019s get-away-place-of-choice. They love it so much that they are building a home there. I\u2019m grateful to be going to my sweet secret place. Early morning sea walks and talks with Jesus!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was just after the first of 2010 when our son announced: \u201cThanksgiving in Cabo this year!\u201d He wanted us to join his family for Thanksgiving at their place in Cabo. My husband, Ron, and I made it a part of our goals that year. As the year progressed, Ron\u2019s health went downhill. So, when Ryan asked about reserving our flights, I said: \u201cFaith says to go ahead and book, but wisdom says, \u2018buy travel insurance!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On November 16, 2010, just before Thanksgiving, my sweetheart \u201cwent home\u201d and the family arrived in Tulsa. Ryan urged me to go to Cabo with them on Sunday. Initially, I hesitated, thinking there was just too much to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But with the emphatic prompting of my children, I realized, \u201cThis is what my sweetheart would want me to do \u2014 to get away to be refreshed.\u201d But, I looked and couldn\u2019t find my passport. Ron had his secret hiding places, unbeknownst to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But our daughter, Staci, in her own \u201csearch and rescue\u201d efforts, heard the words\u2026\u201din my sock drawer\u201d. Her \u201chearing\u201d from God, and I believe, my honey, led her straight to that drawer \u2014 feel behind the drawer, that\u2019s inside the drawer, and there they were. I knew that Cabo is where I was supposed to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There I was, embracing this place of peace and tranquility. I woke very early and walked the shore to enjoy the magnificent sunrise on the crashing waves. Oh, how sweet was the presence of my loving Father.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The day came when we went on a deep-sea fishing expedition. I was giddy. We are fisher-people! It felt like my sweetheart was accompanying us. After all, he was the consummate fisherman who always got our family fishing parties started! He would want me free of pain, worry and sorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lobo, the boat\u2019s captain, said he was taking us to “el lugar secreto” (the secret place) to find the fish. He did. Reeling in the Mahi Mahi, shown in the photo, was a thrill of a lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To this day (12 years later) I find myself living in el lugar secreto (the secret place). Psalm 91:1,2 says: \u201cHe who dwells in the secret place of the Most High, shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the LORD, \u2018My refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I trust!’\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That peace prevailed to this day and that peace instigated my blogging every day. It is my MyPeaceZone.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why shouldn\u2019t we all feel this peace? No matter the chaos around us, God promised it to us if we would live in that place. It\u2019s a choice we can make daily. Jesus said, \u201cPeace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.\u201d (John 14:27)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m going back to el lugar secreto today — just like every day! I press on. I go forward relishing the memories, the sweetness of loving and being loved, choosing to be care-free and unafraid and daily living in el lugar secreto!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
