Cabin Fever

This past weekend, while many were turning shopping into an offensive sport, a bunch of us headed into the Wilds of Alaska...ok, well, maybe not the Wilds that most think of, but it is about 125 miles northeast of Anchorage without much around but GORGEOUSNESS!!!!

A group of us ladies went to a cabin (belonging to the hosts of our bible study) and had a wonderfully relaxing time.

 The front of the cabin overlooks a beautiful lake

Gunsight Mountain in the background

For the Glory of God!!!!

Overlooking the lake

So, what did we do?

 We hung out and talked

We played games

We snowshoed and skied 

We enjoyed the amazing beauty God created

...and still enjoying...

Even the drive home was incredible

We star-gazed, but I didn't get any photos..... boo - I know!

And we praised God!

  Psalm 8:1 - 9:1

"LORD, our Lord

how majestic is Your Name in all the earth!

You have set Your Glory  

in the heavens

Through the praise of children and  infants

You have established a stronghold against your enemies,

to silence the foe and avenger.

When I consider Your heavens, 

the work of Your fingers,

the moon and the stars,

which You have set in place,

what is mankind that You are mindful of them,

the son of man that You care for him?

You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings

and crowned him with glory and honor.

You made him ruler over the works of Your hands;

You put everything under his feet:

all flocks and herds, and the beasts of the field,

the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, 

all that swim the paths of the seas.

O LORD, our Lord,

 how majestic is Your name in all the earth!

I will praise You, O LORD,

with all my heart; 

I will tell of all Your wonders.

And here's the perfect song

What was your week/end like?  

My FAVORITE Day of the Year!

Today, I am Thankful....

photo taken on a hike at Arctic Valley, there was that perfect separation between the clouds that allowed the sun a perfect display of radiance

for Jesus, and the Cross

for My Man who I'm fortunate enough to call hubby

for a day set aside with the purpose of reflecting on how blessed I am

for good friends that have become my family

for all I have been given

for all that has been taken from me, for even in those times, I can see the blessings

for the people God has surrounded me with

for the freedom to Worship my Savior openly

for creativity and my desire to play in it

for my family and their health

for my lil Miss Marianne

Because I have HOPE 

What are you thankful for?
