Enjoying God's Creation

As I have stated earlier, I love fall. It is my most favorite time of the year! Yesterday, Trevor and I were able to get to experience the beautiful mountains and the gorgeous colors of fall. We had been wanting to do this for awhile and I'm so glad we didn't let time pass by and miss it. Here in Virginia we are experiencing such a beautiful fall. Living near the Blue Ridge Parkway, we are just minutes away from some of the most gorgeous views in the country! So let me share a few of them with you.

                                           

                                             The tree across the street from our house.



                                                  On our way to the Parkway.



                                    Our view to the right as we first get on the Parkway.



                      As we were driving, a song that we sang in church on Sunday,
                      Indescribable by Chris Tomlin, came to mind.
                                  Here are some of the lyrics...

                                 From the highest of heights to depths of the sea
                                 
                                 Creation's revealing Your majesty
                            


                                From the colors Fall to the fragrance of Spring
 
                                Every creature unique in the song that it sings

                                     All exclaiming.....



Indescribable, uncontainable

You placed the stars in the  sky

and You know them by name




                                                  You are amazing, God

                                                  All powerful, untamable

                             Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim...


                                                 You are amazing, God!







                                       As you can tell, the sun was setting and it was starting to get dark on us.
                                     We went around 4:00, after I got home from work, but with the time change it gets
                                     dark now around 5:00pm.














                                                                                 
My favorite pic! Thank you Trevor for working so hard to get this
picture! It was starting to get cold and of course I told him before we went home
I had to have a picture of the two of us! With no one else around, he managed to turn the truck around,
fix the camera on the back and get this great shot! I have an amazing husband!! Eventhough my picture
taking gets on his nerves... he still is patient with me and works hard to get great pics!










Ok, now it's getting dark, last picture before we eat!


Well, we had a great time. I SO enjoyed the time to be alone with my baby and to capture the beauty of God's creation. I hope you'll find the time to slow down and and take time to be in awe of God's greatness and his beautiful creation.

Have a blessed week!
