God's Beautiful Creation

Today we decided to go on a nature walk through the redwoods on one of the trails here in Crescent City. We are definentley spoiled here with the beauty of God's creation! March will be 3 years that we have been up here now and sometimes I have to just stop and look at the beautiful creation around me because it is easy to get used to it and take it for granted. We have the beautiful ocean 2 minutes from us and the awesome redwoods just about 10 minutes from us.

We were on our way home last night from my parent's home in Cave Junction and Matthew's parents were with us. We were talking about how it was totally the Lord who had to work on my heart for a few years before I was able to be obedient to Him and move up here. Whenever Matthew and I would come up here for vacation to visit his parents, I would be so afraid that he would want to move up here that I did not enjoy the beauty of this place. I would never admit to him that it was such a beautiful place. I would only tell him how awful it would be to live here because there is nothing here. It made us all laugh last night talking about it. How silly I was. The Lord is good though and I am so glad I was obedient to His calling us up here. Looking at the redwoods today just reminded me of His handiwork and His absolute beautiful creation! Here are a few pictures of the sights around us here...maybe it will get some of you Southern California people up here...at least to visit us!
This was today on our walk in the redwoods. Can you believe the size of this redwood trunk?
This is the Smith River after it had snowed. We had to stop and take a picture on Christmas when we were on the way to my parents in Cave Junction because it was just too pretty!

This is a natural bridge in Brookings, Oregon about half an hour from our home. This spot looks fake it is so clear and beautiful!
