Feeling small…
Do you ever have the feeling when you step on the sand at the beach, or when you start up a trail in the mountains that you are so small in comparison to God’s amazing beauty and perfection? I feel like I need to be reminded of this constantly. This weekend was a great time for me to reflect on this. Allen and I went with some friends up to the mountains for the weekend. I actually have never been camping, so this was a great new experience for me. From the time we started heading towards our campsite being guided by the moonlight, God’s “hugeness” was all around us. On Saturday we did a hike to the top of the mountain, which was beautiful, and we could see all over N.C. Then we went to Turtleback Falls where everybody slid down the rocks into some icy cold water, but super fun! Then onto a delicious dinner made by our friend Martin ( i didn’t know we could eat that well while camping! ) Sunday morning we enjoyed a great little worship service out in the woods, and then packed up to come home!
Allen and I stopped by to see my mom at my aunt’s house and ate some lunch with his family to see them for Mother’s Day, and then back to Columbia…I will post some more later on thoughts from Mother’s Day.

I hope you don’t mind me posting a comment on here as I began following your journey after Kate Whitlock shared your glorious news and I have come to cherish the love and support in others “stories.” My husband and I currently are blessed with four of God’s children here on Earth, and as many or more that await us as they dance and sing with God in Heaven. Our initial pregnancies and dreams were (rather unvoluntarily) turned over to the Lord. As you know, the personal thoughts and feelings are impossible to describe. I had not known that one could feel such joy and sorrow synonymously! We had been chosen and we found great strenth in that to perservere and witness God’s plan unraveling. What do we know if not God’s arms embracing us and lifting us up? How do we have hope without experiencing despair? I can tell by your blogs that your faith in God in unwavering. It is the rock, that although may chip at times, is fundamentally solid. Don’t give up on your hopes and dreams. If I can ever do anything for you, please don’t hesitate to let me know. Your family is in our prayers.
