Yesterday, I took a break from trying to study. (Notice I said trying, I am struggling to buckle down and study for my PA boards I have to take next month) But after putting in a good 3 hours of reading I decided an outdoor excursion was needed.
I put Dassah, my trusty hiking partner in the Xterra and off we headed in search of some water falls. I had learned last summer that there were several hiking trails to waterfalls up in the Dupont Forest - about 45 mins away, so off I went. We enjoyed ambling along the stone roads and short forest trails to the falls. And I enjoyed wandering alongside the one fall. You could walk up the rock and observe striation and mineral deposits from where water had flowed over it in the past but was dry now. Moments like that make you realize how short my own lifespan truly is. To see how water had carved the rock into a smooth surface reminded me of the scripture of how we as believers sharpen each other. And I am more in awe of My Creator. I also enjoy watching water falls and the sheer power and force that water has. Not because of its own abilities, but because of its movement and location. If God can do that with water, -- What can He do with me if I am in the right location and moving in the proper direction?
I also have been enjoying watching the sun rise on my way to the gym the last few mornings. The other day I took a few pics. There are a few of the sunrise s well as several from the falls.
