Micah 6:8

God's Creation in Powell River

I've really been enjoying my time here in Powell River. I think that the best part has been in the respite from the city. The population density and the busyness of life in Vancouver really craps my spirit. I've been enjoying the nature so much. I took the kids blackberry picking a couple of days ago and it made me so happy. In some ways I think that God designed people, well at least me, to function best in a rural environments. I love being able to get away in the nature and just soak in God's marvelous creation. The city crowds out his creation and I find it easier to forget how awesome God's work really is.

We went for a walk yesterday on a trail in the woods right next to the ocean and we saw no more then 5 people the entire time. It was so wonderful to have an opportunity to absorb it all undistracted. This has been a great vacation.

Nature reminds me of hope. I think that city seems so polluted by worldliness and sin. All that you can see is the disgustingness of humanity. Rural areas remind me that God really still is in charge and unbridled. He's so wonderful.
