A Walk Up The Quarry

We live on Quarry Rd....which I came to find out has a beautiful walk at the end of the road--the Quarry. It isn't just a street name but a walk with so many cool things to look at, a little bit of hiking, beautiful flowers, and a great view at the top. Sam and I headed up there on Friday to get some time out doors and together. Sam said I should wear running shoes...I thought it was a little path type walk, but I did it anyway....cute, I know!


Here is the view on the way there!


And we are off...





Lakey check these frogs out!







Look I made friends! hehehehe

View from the top...can you see the Mount?


It was such a surreal and sobering moment as we got to the top and I could see the Mount. A year and a half ago I had so many talks with God, processing times, healing times and special times going up the Mount...even talking to God about what my dreams were and where I was heading next. 13 months after leaving New Zealand I am now standing on the top of another hill/mount with my husband overlooking the Mount. It was a spiritual experience for me and felt like a tangible moment with God. Life is new and different and He has placed me in a new place, with a new view, and with new people. Not at all what I expected or ever once dreamed of when I was walking up the Mount all those times, yet better than I could imagine. It was a gentle reminder of allowing God to move and shape your life. He is so gracious and gives us choices, but as I saw something beautiful as I stepped into what he had for me, in fact while running around the Mount one day last year I felt this quiet impression and invitation by Him to allow Him to love me the way He intended. In fear and tears I said yes...6 months later I met Sam and my life forever changed.

Funny how as we move into the things God invites you too they are rarely predictable and not often free of hardship, but always full of His Goodness...

And yes there are still sheep everywhere!!!!


Good bye for now!
