Mountain Girl

Many of my friends know I've been homesick for Colorado. I wasn't born there. But from the first moment I experienced the Rocky Mountains up close and personal, my heart found its home. Have you ever felt like that?

Now I live in Texas and what makes it beautiful to me is my precious family. But recently, as I was praying for God to take away this yearning for snow, golden aspen leaves, old friends, and crisp mountain air - I sensed him saying "no."

I realized He put that in me. This special love. This passion. I believe I have permission to still call Colorado home. And so I will.

"You fill up my senses, like a night in the forest; like the mountains in Springtime; like a walk in the rain...." - John Denver (Our wedding song, Annie's Song.)

January 9 - The Gift of Exhilaration

A bright blue sky against a glistening blanket of fresh snow is a present to the soul. God has prepared this day for you to enjoy in nature and in the spirit. What exhilarates you? Be aware of that gift to you today.

James 1:17 - Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.
