A whale of a day

Well it finally happened. Tonight I was sitting on my friends deck, you know having a nice leisurely dinner with my peeps. I am facing MacKaye Harbor. All of the sudden I spot it, a giant plume of water shooting up into the sky...a large body breaching the waves and slipping back in. I have been in the islands for 2 years and not seen one whale. I've even gone looking for them. We spent half the day getting over to Lime Kiln only to read the tracking board and find out that the pod of orcas was off Iceberg Point on LOPEZ! No whales at whale watching central...no, they're in my backyard that day. Now 3 days before I leave the island God lets me see this wonderful sight. My sources say it is 50ft gray whale. A rare sight in MacKaye Harbor. There's nothing like being in the right place at the right time. It's funny how this type of thing will stop all other conversation and activity. We all jumped up and ran to what we thought would be the best viewing spot and waited for another glimpse. Whale surfaced a couple more times as it left the harbor but never that close again. Thank you Lord, for putting me in the right place at the right time! I believe I can apply this to the rest of my life. I can't wait to see what He is preparing me for, at just the right time.
