This week I have been visiting my 8th grade best friend, Amy, in the mountains of North Carolina. Driving over here from TN I was once again reminded of how beautiful America is...I must have had my head in a hole before I left for India as I am constantly blown away by the beauty of this country...so often before I would dream of foriegn places and wonder about how beautiful they must be...now I can drive...even through my old home town...and realize that this place is just as beautiful as the many far off places I dream of...

God has been using His nature to speak to me this week...from the bubbling stream to the raging (ok, so it was not SO raging...but anyway) river, He has lessons for us to learn...His peace, His direction, His love...
