Today I went hiking... Surrounded by the beauty of the Lords earth. It was a great day!
The following are some pictures (which give no justice to the beautiful falls)... with some scriptures that were popping in my head as I enjoyed HIS beauty on my hike!! I would hike a little- sit on a rock- and just be amazed at the beauty in front of me. I have been so happy lately- so grateful to HIM at where my life is.. and today was yet another reminder of how thankful I am to be where I am in life-so blessed.
New England "foliage". :-)
The beginning of the hike..... which led to this....
Jeremiah 29: 11-13
"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plan to give you HOPE and a FUTURE. Then you will CALL ON ME and COME AND PRAY to me, and I will listen to you. You will SEEK ME and FIND ME when you SEEK ME WITH ALL YOUR HEART!"
Doing my best to not fall backwards into the falls..... |
Psalm 71:14
"As for me, I will always have hope; I will praise you more and more..."
Romans 15:13
"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."
"So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
I always try to be artsy in my pictures.. I'm not very good at it but it's fun trying. :-)
This earth will fade and all of us in it will age-much like these stairs... life will happen- but one thing remains certain- HIS love never fails... and that promise has gotten me through some of the toughest times. I am so thankful for what I have learned and where I have been and only pray for continued blessings and strength from the amazing God I serve.
How lucky am I!!
How lucky am I!!
I'll end this with the lyrics of one of my favorite worship songs...and so appropriate for this day...
Jesus Culture-Your Love Never Fails
Nothing can separate
Even if I ran away
Your love never fails
I know I still make mistakes
But You have new mercies for me everyday
Your love never fails
Chorus:
You stay the same through the ages
Your love never changes
There may be pain in the night but joy comes in the morning
And when the oceans rage
I don't have to be afraid
Because I know that You love me
Your love never fails
Verse 2:
The wind is strong and the water's deep
But I'm not alone in these open seas
Cause Your love never fails
The chasm is far too wide
I never thought I'd reach the other side
But Your love never fails
Bridge:
You make all things work together for my good
Even if I ran away
Your love never fails
I know I still make mistakes
But You have new mercies for me everyday
Your love never fails
Chorus:
You stay the same through the ages
Your love never changes
There may be pain in the night but joy comes in the morning
And when the oceans rage
I don't have to be afraid
Because I know that You love me
Your love never fails
Verse 2:
The wind is strong and the water's deep
But I'm not alone in these open seas
Cause Your love never fails
The chasm is far too wide
I never thought I'd reach the other side
But Your love never fails
Bridge:
You make all things work together for my good
