Summertime

I have spent my fair share of time playing in the mountains this summer. I kicked off my time this summer jumping into an icy lake with the junior high kids at camp.

If you look closely you can see that not only was the lake icy cold, but literally, there is ice still covering part of the lake. Yep, it clean took my breath away.
I took this picture at family camp in a field of daisys that Cara, Jody, and I came across.
And while I already shared some of my breathtaking, and death-defying hike pictures with you I thought I woud post a picture of my sister and I together at the summit of our journey.
This picture is from the latest excursion up to Stanley with my friends and family. Nothing beats the Sawtooth mountains at dusk.

For all of you who are interested in my future plans... I have definitely begun the process of moving towards missions. I met with my pastor and my uncle (a missionary) last month to begin figuring out my next steps. And after a little prayer, and a lot of God tugging on my heart, I put my house up for sale. I am currently devoted in the jr. high ministry while I wait for my house to sell, and then I hope to rejoin the ministry down at the clinic in Honduras. I will keep you posted as new things develop.

Rejoining the blogging world...

Hey! I thought I would start off my new blog with some photos of one of the most gorgeous places in God's creation: The Sawtooth Mountains. This particular lake is Hanson Lake #2 and it is breathtaking. It lies at the end of a very difficult hike and because of this it is relatively untouched by mankind.

Hanson Lake #2
This is the bottom portion of Bridal Veil Falls. The falls freefall down the mountainside over a thousand feet from their source at the lakes. My sister and I, caught up in their beauty perhaps, accidentally lost the trail at one point and found ourselves precariously positioned over some cliffs... It was a little scary for a couple of minutes, but By His Grace we came out with nothing more than a few cuts and bruises.

This is the view from the trail's end... safely back at the car!
