Sky Watch










How great is God--

beyond our understanding!

Who can understand how he spreads out the clouds, 

how he thunders from his pavilion?

Job 36:26, 29

 5 Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him. 6 He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken. 7 My salvation and my honor depend on God; he is my mighty rock, my refuge. 8 Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.
Psalm 62:5-8






"...the darkness is passing and the true light is already shining."
1 John 2:8

Thank you Jesus ~

{ A Hiking We Will Go! }



My niece Christina and I headed to Lake Evergreen for an afternoon of hiking. 




We had a blast! And to think she is not even a hurdler...inside joke!
We laughed, lived, and learned that we mistakingly took the bike only path.
We survived, though, I had to quickly hop up and cling to a tree so I would not be run over while the guy yelled, "Runners!"



















This was our turning around point. I only broke down a couple times as I was certain I would die of thirst or the thought I may never see my family again because we didn't leave bread crumbs!
Did I mention I had never hiked before?



Our reminder to not bring our horses next time!




On my way home I had to stop several times to take more pictures. 
BTW...all with my new iPhone!



This is the day the Lord has made; 
Let us rejoice and be glad in it!
Psalm 118:24
