The Mountains

"He who forms the mountains creates the winds, and reveals his thoughts to man, he who turns dawn to darkness, and treads the high places of the earth- the Lord God Almighty is his name."

-Amos 4:13

The drive out to Jackson Hole was one of indescribable beauty. After we left Denver we did not see one stretch of civilization, but instead we were completely surrounded by God's amazing creation. As we drove into the middle of nowhere we mostly sat in silence and took in our surroundings. All I could think about was how mighty my savior is that he could create the mountains and the heavens. Not only did he create them, but because of his grace I am able to fully experience them. The sky and the views in Wyoming are more beautiful than anything I have ever seen and I cannot help but think about God's love for us. It makes me wonder how people can look at the mountains or into the open night sky and not feel the love of Jesus. His creation was not only made for us to enjoy, but so that we may know his power and love. I will never fully understand the vastness of God, but as I stare at the mountains from my window I can start to barely grasp his love for me.

Morgan and Laurel have already met the people they are working with and it is very obvious we are all here for a reason. Morgan is working at a rafting company with people who live to party and Laurel is working with Mormons. We have been praying that the Lord would stretch us this summer and take us out of the Auburn bubble. We have only been here two days and it is already so obvious that the Lord has us here for a reason. As the Lord's love is revealed more to all of us, we want to show others our love for him.

Until then,
