These were more pictures from the hike. That last one is a picture from the cliff trail that I walked (looking back). It was used in the filming of "The last of the Mohicans". Cool. Unfortunately there were metal fences along the trail, although I must admit I was glad for them when others met me during the narrow areas going the opposite way. At one point they carved a path out of the rock that I had to go through sideways because it was narrow. These areas are amazing to me, in their beauty and in the ingenuity of man to create ways to get through and enjoy them. This morning it started off overcast; and while I write this it is thundering loudly as another storm rolls over me. Yet God allowed it to clear up and be a beautiful 65-70 degree sunny day as I hiked. God is good. :) And I had to stop and take a picture of that flower. Doesn't it look beautiful. It's been half stripped in this world, and yet it retains its beautiful color. The center of the flower still exists as it attempts to reproduce its seeds for next year. It has not given up on living. It has not curled up its leaves to shrivel up, as life plucked her petals, as if to say He loves me He loves me not... It stands proud with the beauty and love that God created it to have. It's a testament to God's love and divine protection. He does love me, it declares proudly to all. Just as He calls us to proclaim. And just for confirmation he drew my attention to this heart shaped leaf tinged in my favorite fall color - red. I pray that God will teach me that confidence in His love for me through my new year. (What a great reminder near my birthday) I pray that God will touch you through these thoughts and pictures to grow in your faith as He grew mine today.- See ya
