Week Nine - Glory!

We moved from Estes Park to Crested Butte CO. It’s a small, secluded ski town nestled in the mountains. We were hoping to see the aspens turn yellow and orange. We were a bit early but it was still glorious! Just look…






The three views above were behind our camper. 


Glory!


A different kind of glory 


Paddling on Lake Irwin 

My sister and I have adopted a habit of looking for God’s work around us and declaring, “Glory!” Not just in creation but in His work in our lives. Such as, answered prayers. It keeps us alert to God’s presence and prompts our worship that He deserves. 

The best part of this week was seeing people we know and love. I got to share these “glory” moments with my sister (and my favorite brother in law who took the pictures). 



Fun fact: we are 10 years apart and Lisa is my #1 supporter in whatever I do (she may be the only person reading this blog!)


I had the privilege of hanging out with her friends - ladies a little older and a lot wiser and a lot of fun! 


Some locals and dear friends, Priscilla and Holden, had us over for brunch and a hike. 



One last bit of glory as the aspens start to turn.

Week One - Goodbye Indiana

Image
 We have officially left Indiana, but our Indiana adventure will never leave us. I never want to forget all God taught us and did for us in Indiana. The greatest blessing was the people He brought into our lives. He taught me that home is where He is. He showed me how He could provide everything that I needed as I left everything to go where He said to go. So, we didn’t leave Indiana without His clear call. Leviticus 25 is where we heard Him direct us to a Sabbath year and a return to our homeland Arkansas. This is our Shabbat Adventure with the Lord.  I’m writing this because a few friends and family want to go along and see pictures of the places we visit. We have some really sweet and caring friends and family! Thank you for wanting to follow us and share in our adventures. I’m sure God has a plan and purpose in it all and I want to share that most of all. A few highlights from week One: Our last night on the back patio of our Indiana home. First stop  Chain O Lakes - ...

Week Three - Flowers and Goats

Image
 This week in pictures… I’ve been looking forward to this one stop for a long time. The UP Flower Farm - another Harvest Host that allows RVs to park overnight at their business. It was a young family of six with a flower garden in the front yard. They allow people to pick a bouquet from their garden for $25. They spread a lot of joy to others and put in a good word for Jesus in the process.  Next stop Apostle Islands National Lakeshore - 22 islands in Lake Superior. We toured to one called Raspberry Island and toured a lighthouse.  Next heading west in the UP was Voyagers National Lakeshore. We heard the majestic sound of loons calling to each other, but missed getting it on video. I did capture two pelicans and an interesting creature at the end of the video.  Overnight stay at an air museum in Minot North Dakota.  We made it to the goat farm in Montana - met the farmer and his wife. He showed us how to milk a goat and she explained her art of making soap. I f...

Week Two - Up in the UP

Image
 We headed north for several stops in Michigan: Muskegon State Park, Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, an overnight stop at a winery (yes, we spent the night in a vineyard), then a quick stop in Mackinaw City to see a friend camping there before crossing the Mackinac bridge into the Upper Peninsula (UP), first stop Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore on Lake Superior (the largest fresh water lake in the world)! Some highlights… We camped right on the sand dunes of Lake Michigan at Muskegon State Park.  We put our kayaks on the Platte River in Sleeping Bear Dunes and paddled down where it emptied into Lake Michigan.  Harvest Hosts are a network of businesses that allow RV travelers to park at their business overnight for free. This was a winery in Charlevoix MI.  At Pictured Rocks we couldn’t put our kayaks on the rough waters of Lake Superior but we found beautiful Beaver Lake.  From the campground a view of Lake Superior at sunset. The haze is from the Cana...
