afternoon walk

the storms have continued here in California,

thunder and hail pelted us around 3pm 

and by 5pm it was sunny and beautifully crisp outside

so i went on a walk with my roommate..camera in hand, of course.

you never know what beautiful things Jesus will place in your path.

today was no exception .

thank you Jesus for the beautiful, calm & crisp air after the storm today.

thank you for this precious child that reminded me how fun playing with sticks can be.

thank you for the ducks, seeing this little girl's excitement over them really made my day.

thank you for the amazing views you gave me at sunset on the river.

thank you for my awesome roommate who brought me outdoors when i tried being a hermit.

thank you for your promise to never leave me.

thank you for feeding the flowers with rain so i can see them bloom someday soon.
thank you for my husband and family who constantly encourage me.
thank you for a sweet email from a friend today, she didn't know, but you knew i needed it.

thank you for loving me despite my negative attitude most days.

thank you for showing me your power through the thunder storm today.

Be still, and know that I am God.

Psalm 46:10
