Filling My Nest: Colorado

Please try not to judge us when you see these photos. I know it's probably sounding like we are spoiled for being able to go on another trip this Winter. Not that I have to explain it to blog-land, but it does feel a little uncomfortable. My main goal for adding them here is because I print out my blog at the end of the year. I would like to have my favorite photos all in one place. We appreciate the fact that God has Blessed us with the ability to take a nice long weekend in Colorado. Our trip was extended two more days since we had a huge snow storm here in Michigan. We weren't snowed in, but snowed out of town. I can think of a lot worse places to be stranded for sure!

We hadn't been skiing in several years. I was planning to bring my old skis until I recently took a trip to Salvation Army to drop off some clothes. I noticed my skis were there for $15.99. and my boots were the same price! Apparently skis have changed a lot since we last hit the slopes, so we decided to rent ours in Breckenridge! Now they are short and very wide; and they turned on a dime!

Anyway, if you stopped by for a little inspiration instead of just hearing me brag about our travels, please listen to the song I posted. It's one of my all-time favorites and I thought about it several times while we were there enjoying the gorgeous scenery. I'm not sure I've ever used the word, "majestic" before, but God's artwork was everywhere!

"the heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands." ~Psalm 19:1

Anything's Possible

some will look out at the ocean
but never set foot past the shore
while others set sail
never look back and go where no man's gone before
some people look at a mountain
the fear of it shadows their mind
while others look up and chart out their course
and slowly they start their long climb
anything's possible if you believe
anything's possible and can be seen
once you get past the things in your heart
that cloud what is good and true
anything's possible if you have faith
just keep your head up
stay in the race
others before have known this is true
and now it's time for you
to know anything's possible too

some people hear of a battle
walk the first road of retreat
while others will rush
to find the front line
never give thought of defeat
everyone looks in a mirror
and stares at the core of their soul
we all have the choice to get lost in fear
or gather the faith to let go
anything's possible if you believe
anythings possible and can be seen
once you get past the things in your heart
that cloud what is good and true
anything's possible if you have faith
just keep your head up; stay in the race
others before have known this is true
and now it's time for you
to know anything's possible too

others before have known this is true
and now it's time for you
to know anything's possible too

Anything's Possible... for you!
