Thanks so much for sharing this, Donna! As I'm sure you've seen on my FB page, we are awaiting the sale of our home here in PA to move to Myrtle Beach. We'd never been there until a few weeks ago & don't remember the moment God led us to this decision but as we drove through the secluded areas (where we are looking to live) we were able to check off this list of things we've always wanted in a home. Along with that, we talked about the verses or thoughts God placed on our hearts prior to going down - they were all there. In our 23 years of marriage & decision, we've been so thankful for the times God has undoubtoubtedly shown us the direction He wanted us to go.
With all of that said, we fell in love with the place in a way we don't understand. In a way that, as my husband says, makes us feel like we are not at home anymore here in PA, in the home we've owned for 22 years. Having that feeling is making it hard to wait on the Lord for the house to sell but waiting is something we have to do, of course.
So, back to "Through the Swamps of Life." We've grown up being lovers of the woods, long hikes & secret places among the trees. Driving down through the states we discussed how strange it was that God was moving us to the OCEAN & not the woods or mountains. When we saw the woods & the swamps we were IN LOVE! The first day we visited Huntington Beach State Park & some of my favorite pictures are from there & it's those pictures I look at for calming & comfort when I get upset about having to wait to move. Last night & this morning were extremely difficult with my Fibromyalgia & headaches (which weren't a problem down there) so this morning as I laid in bed crying & trying to allow God to comfort me, I felt the desire to read my e-mail. Now I was expecting that God was going to show me that I had an e-mail about our home or something like that. Nope - even more awesome, The Nature in Us was there & I immediately clicked on this article. To see pictures similar to my favorites & that they were taken in the same state were just incridible and then to read the accompanying words, well, Donna - God used you to be the comfort He was going to give me today. I've printed the article to put in my Bible & have sent it to my husband as well. Also, the pictures are being posted to FB today. Hope you enjoy them. Thank you, thank you, thank you for (again) allowing God to write through you.
As always, I enjoyed reading The Nature in Us, but today was special & for that I'm greatful.
Blessings & joy to you!

PS-I realized I never answered your messages on FB from a few weeks ago! So, sorry! I actually am going to answer them today. Have a great day & a safe trip back home!
