Reflections of Fall

My beautiful mountains in the fall....I love this place. It is so rich with color even at the end of the fall color change. I've always appreciated the richness of the mountains: the richness in the hearts of the people there, the richness of the earth and the beautiful products of nature there, the richness of the love of my family, the richness of God's love there. It's where my heart was first touched by God, where I was born, where you can almost see the prescence of God reach down for you like the fog that has lighted on the mountain in this picture.

I find it interesting that God led me out of the mountains and into a much different and flatter area of the world to grow me. I had always imagined that the richness of those mountains would be where I would remain planted and grow, but it took being transplanted to the coast to find the right soil for me and now, I feel so strong. My life with God has flourished, my career is growing steady, and I have found a love here in Robbie that I was starting to wonder if I was ever going to know. I have a much higher respect for God now. That He knows so much more than I do, that I can't and never could plan my own end or how exactly my life would grow, but, here I am. In His hand, trying everyday to do His will and loving it!! I feel completely blessed today!
