if i could fly

if i were only able to walk
i would roam to the sea
to the top of the mountains
and to the deep forest trees
if i were only able to run
i would chase the sunset
win the race to the sunrise
run after all the colors of the skies
and if i could fly
well
if i could fly and soar i would explore
the world with the power of my wings
as i listened to the sky colors sing
never again to walk or run
i would fly with the sun
ascend to the stars
and oh the songs i would sing
as i fly and carry the moon on my wings

Back to Guatemala for this post. My church supports missionary endeavors around the world including, of course, Guatemala. We visited one of my favorite ministries in Guatemala: Manos de Compasion. Located in the Bay of Santiago Atitlan, Manos de Compasion is a childrens’ home. Their number one goal is to minister to abandon, abused, and forgotten children. The views on the journey there are awesome, and the opportunity to have fun with these kids is priceless.

One more end of day Montana moment…

just past jerome

One our way to Sedona, Arizona, we had the fortunate pleasure of driving through an incredible mountain road with hairpin curves and beautiful views. This was taken just past Jerome, Arizona.

Grateful to be enjoying the beauty of God’s creation in Montana this week while teaching a class at Arrowhead Bible College. I haven’t been posting too much lately because my hard drive decided to get funky, then my Lightroom catalog joined in. All better now. Have a great week!

Back to “The Treasure State”, Montana, for this post.  I am posting from New York this week while I visit with my elderly parents. Hopefully will find some time to share a New York photo or two. Have a great week everyone!!

This was taken one morning at Beartooth Mountain Christian Ranch, Fishtail, Montana. For the past two summers I have been a part of a team that has gone to this ranch to help with Camp Velocity: a 5 day camp for children in the foster care system of Montana. Due to my oldest daughter’s wedding and a missions trip with our church’s high school students I am sad to not be able to return this summer. I will miss loving on those kids, and the beauty of Montana.
