Grab that camera, the chance to remember years from now, before going of course.See things out of fresh eyes. Get excited over ravines and leaves and snail shells and what might have lived in those holes and every trail marker on every tall tree along the path.
Stop to remember Who made all this beautiful stuff anyway. Sing and let the hills echo back to you.
Be thankful that your hands are full, your life filled with some uncertainty. It means God is getting ready to move. It means you have new purposes to fulfill.
Head home just before sundown. Let your breath be caught in your chest just a little.
Or a lot.
Then it feels so good to escape... back home.~Katrina

You'll have to share with me where you guys ventured. Beautiful pictures from Gods country! Love you friend!
you are my most favorite. i bet that i am, hands down, your number one fan. motherhood has some very raunchy, tiring, and down-right nerve racking moments and i refuse to focus on those times. it's the "step over the mess" (to quote you) times that we muster up enough strength to get out of the "line of fire" and just be...happy. no mess, no rules. happy. love your blogs. love you! always have.
I loved this post. I am forever stepping over messes to live in the moment. Great post. I would love to know where you guys ventured. It looks beautiful!
Thanks to each of you... beautiful words. They SO do my soul good.
This was at Henry Horton State Park in Chapel Hill for those who asked... the hiking trail just behind the primitive camp sites. There's also another we'd like to try which winds by the river. :)
