Our small group has been discussing how to live out the Sabbath. This week we talked about appreciating God's creation. We had to write down a few places in nature where I've experienced God's presence. One of the ones I wrote down and shared was looking up into the night skies. A lot of my photography is capturing the beauty of God's creation. I'm often awestruck by the small things and big things of nature, from the close up shots of flowers to wide shots of mountains, lakes and the night sky. This picture was from our camping trip in June. The camera only captures a small section of the sky. Try looking up one night and see the vast expanse of the sky and stars. . . . . #adventuresofcd #stars #nightsky #gritandvirtue #documentlife #littlestoriesofmylife #ofquietmoments #petitejoys https://www.instagram.com/p/B4_OGrMAZLgI48qrLfE-BR5oWMm_D8uNh2TStw0/?igshid=dt838jttg3mi

new beanie arrived just in time to kick off 31. ⁣ 30 definitely wasn't an easy year probably one of my hardest but I made it through with God's grace and strength. I am thankful for so many things. More reflections to come. ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #adventuresofcd #justgo #ragamuffinco #birthday #oct25 #liveauthentic #birthdaymonth #nikonphotography #nikonportrait #moodygrams #moodyports #thankful #alittlebeautyeveryday #seekthesimplicity #documentlife https://www.instagram.com/p/B4Cl4QngajV/?igshid=1cqbmn6714e50

Hiking in Miquelon Provincial Park Dan and I had the past week off and instead of traveling this time, we decided to do a staycation. We ate, napped, adventured, watched movies, ate, hung out with friends, read, thrifted, studied and ate some more. One of our adventures was to Miquelon Lake Provincial Park. Dan camped here as a kid and we have been wanting to go all summer but couldn't find time, so we decided to go on Wednesday and it was the perfect weather and timing. It felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. The sun was out and shining #adventuresofcd Now it's back to our regular programing tomorrow. . . . #albertaparks #explorealberta #patagonia #liveauthentic #thevisualscollective #theoutbound #optoutside #thegreatoutdoors #travelalberta #travelandcamp #adventureinspired #modernoutdoors #adventureseeker #adventureisoutthere #findyourpark #wanderfolk #travelstoke #wanderlust #dametraveler #mytinyatlas @patagonia #thatsdarling #livefolk #exploremore (at Miquelon Lake Provincial Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2LbsJvgpos/?igshid=lfr2zxr3ia58

Last summer, my friends and I adventured out to the Bowden sunflower maze.

"Life comes to us in chapters that are very different from each other. If God wills, there may be another chapter for you with different possibilities, different potentials, and different priorities. The Lord will be pleased if you focus on the chapter you are in and live according to the demands of that chapter with all your might." ⁣⁣ // John Piper ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ This article featured on Desiring God, really spoke into what I feel like I am going through now. This chapter/season in our life right now isn't exactly how we planned it out to be. God had different plans for us. We had plans that we would be growing our family with kids here on earth but things turned out a bit differently as our 2 babies are up in heaven. We don't know God's complete plan but know that He is good and we continue to trust in Him. Sure, some days are hard [actually many days are hard] but we are catching glimpses of what God is doing in our lives and His goodness. Like John Piper's quote, "if God wills, there may be another chapter ... with different possibilities, different potentials, and different priorities" and we won't know when the next chapter will come. So, we are focusing on where God has placed us right now with the families, friends, coworkers and "kids" that are in our lives or we will be meeting in this season of life.⁣⁣ ⁣ Thankful for everyone who is sharing their stories and their lives at #ihaveaheavenbaby ⁣ ⁣⁣ .⁣⁣ .⁣⁣ .⁣⁣ .⁣⁣ .⁣⁣ #adventuresofcd #miscarriage #miscarriageawareness #miscarriagesupport #miscarriagematters #ihadamiscarriage #1in4 #miscarriagesurvivor #wellwateredwomen #desiringGod #bevulnerable #pregnancylossawareness #infertility #gritandvirtue #liveauthentic #seekthesimplicity #alittlebeautyeveryday⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ https://www.instagram.com/p/B1gqHFLppkY/?igshid=1c2xmo6ole8og

"You are where you need to be. And no matter what you have seen, it is worth it to keep traveling.⁣ ⁣ So carry on with that bold, unbridled joy of yours. Carry on with that fire inside of you that burns despite the shadows. This is a narrow path, but it is not a lonely path and it is filled with opportunities for your hope and your joy to last. So keep looking for hope in unexpected places. Keep finding joy in ordinary conversations with unlikely friends. Make room in your every day to see the many ways that Light is still pouring in, ever-reminding you, it is worth it to keep going."⁣ //@morganharpernichols⁣ ⁣ ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #adventuresofcd #glaciernationalpark #glaciernps #nationalparkgeek #nationalparklife #radparks #nationalparkobessed #findyourpark #madewild #national_park_photography #ourwild #travelandcamp #ourcamplife #rei440project #thegreatoutdoors #campvibes #mytinyatlas #wanderfolk #letsgosomewhere #girlsthatwander #travelstoke #howiparkit #montanamoment #socality #passionpassport #fujixt10 #fujixseries #adventuretime #hike #lifeofadventure (at Trail of the Cedars) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0nB_oPA1aB/?igshid=12t9fphrkjbv1

"Brothers and sisters, each person, as responsible to God, should remain in the situation they were in when God called them.". 1 Corinthians 7:24. //Listened to a sermon today that challenged me to be content with where God has placed me. It has helped put things into perspective in terms of where and what God has called us to. To be content in my present situations with my health, my job, my family, my friends, etc... . . . . #adventuresofcd #getoutthere #gritandvirtue #documentlife #fujix100 #myfujifilm #wanderfolk #nature #tree #liveauthentic #thevisualscollective #theoutbound #adventureinspired #roamtheplanet #wondermore #outdoortones #exploretocreate #agameoftones #visualsofearth #seekthesimplicity #alittlebeautyeveryday #livethelittlethings #holdthemoments #petitejoys #photosinbetween #everydaymoments #dailybibleverse #bibleverse #wellwateredwomen https://www.instagram.com/p/B0N_uG_AR_T/?igshid=1lfvl43bolbmw
