I wanted to do a quick post to tell you about the picture that I have used as my theme picture above. Last summer Del and I took a trip to Seattle. I had never been and a few sites there were on my bucket list; the Space Needle and Mt. Rainier. We went to the Space Needle and Pike Place Market the first day, which was awesome, and headed out to find Mr. Rainier the second day. Since we knew nothing about it, we spent most of the day trying different routes to get the best view. By 3 p.m. we decided we would still have time to try the northeast side at Sunrise.
As we got closer, I began to realize this just wasn’t one mountain/volcano we were going to see, it was just the highest peak in the whole Cascade Range. I couldn’t believe the vastness of it all but as we turned the bend and Mt. Rainier came into view, I was so overtaken by the beauty and grandeur of it, I began to cry! I could not believe what I was seeing! It was the most incredible thing I had ever seen and I have been to a lot of amazing places. I felt an overwhelming sense that God IS the creator and that He put us on this beautiful earth to LIVE our lives! Even if we can’t travel to places like this, we should find beauty in all places…our homes, our families, our friends…and LIVE our LIVES to the fullest!
