WOW…..this is a shot I want in my life..I’ve been recently been really interested and amazed at nature that God has created. Just learning about US History makes me so thankful to live in America where we have such a diverse geography and terrain! All kinds of national parks and environments to explore. I feel nerdy and want to give mad thanks to Lewis+Clarke who did their expedition, Teddy Roosevelt for supporting Progressive Americans to limit the environmental degradation from industrialization, and the LORD who created it all. The ironic thing is I’ve never been to a national park. Much exploring to do and its very exciting to know that living in CA gives me access to a lot of adventures come! Who’s down??

Finally I wanted share this link of amazing photos from national geographic’s international contest…These photos always open up my eyes to how BIG and DIVERSE this world is. God is above all these nations, cultures, environments, animals, beliefs, etc!! How intricate and detailed of a world we live in. Do we not see how small we are? Anywho, these photos..man it really speaks to the explorer inside of me. As much of a suburban and conservatively secure kid as I feel, I often think, will I ever get to do this? Just leave where I am to go and see the world…..the people..the environment…the creation..the animals, capture it, observe it, share it with the world and praise Him for it.. Oh the opportunity…should it ever come? Lord, whaddya think? And here I am on my bed in a gated house on a cul de sac on top of a hill in suburban hacienda heights, ca 91745…Life is so weird and interesting at the same time. Sorry if I was really weird towards the end of this post. These are just some of the thoughts that have been running through my head since summer. God is good. HERE IS THE LINK!!
