The Beauties of the Earth!

This past week I have had the opportunity to be in Flagstaff and see all of the beautiful nature that surrounds it. One night I was able to go on a night hike with my friends. We hiked up a mountain, and when we reached the top we were able to look up and see the stars that spotted the sky it was absolutely amazing!! It made me think of how big the universe is and how much there is out there that we don't know about. And about our Heavenly Father and all of the worlds that are out there. It made me feel really small, but at the same time really loved. I know that even thought I am small comnpared to the universe, Heavenly Father still loves me and listens to answers my prayers. He watches over me and cares for me because I am his child.



The next day, we were able to take a trip to the Grand Canyon and see the sun set there. It was absolutley breathtaking. It made me think of the hymn "How Great Thou Art."

Oh Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder

Consider all the worlds thy hands have made,

I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,

Thy pow'r throughout the universe displayed;

Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to thee,

How great thou art! How great thou art!

Then sings my soul, my Savior, God to thee,

How great thou art! How great thou art!

I know that my Heavenly Father has blessed me by giving me all of the beautiful nature that surrounds me. It is so amazing that he would take the time to make it so beautiful and ornate for me. I feel blessed to be able to be surrounded by it all of the time.

These are pictures that I took at the Grand Canyon of the sun set.

I am also so blessed to be able to have the friends that I have. They are such good examples to me and are always there for me. Whenever I need a hug or a get-away, they are there. I have been so incredibly blessed in my life!
