Our Road

We went to Long Hunter State Park the other day and I was determined to get back into the landscape side of my photography (the thing that started my obsession). I realized too quickly that I am very rusty! Then mother nature gave me a hand and plopped this scene right before my eyes. I was immediately struck by the intense greens (it had just rained...my Favorite lighting) but then my eyes found this road. I know it sounds cheesy, but I claimed this little piece of paved path as our family road because it sums up our journey perfectly. The road is not straight as an arrow but in spite of it's slight curves, it's still headed in the right direction. The tall, immovable trees lining the path create a protective canopy over head much like the teachings of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Every direction you look fills you with awe, wonder, curiosity and amazement because of the sheer beauty of it all. I feel this way about my children and my husband. Every time I turn around, I feel so unbelievably blessed with these gifts that Heavenly Father has given me. It may have been a long windy road to get to where I am today...but the piece of road I am on right now with my family is the most beautiful stretch of pavement I have ever seen. I can't wait to see what's next in our journey together!
