Our family took a wonderful trip in July to Seattle Washington, our home of 23 years and the place my oldest son Stephen was born. It was a clear day as we flew by Mt. St. Helens so we were able to get these beautiful photo's from the plane. In May of 1980, she erupted causing much devastation to miles of around her and leaving her looking forever damaged. Twenty-eight years has now passed (wow), and to witness the beauty that had taken such a devastating "blow" just awed me of God's great power and love of His creation, and love for his children to witness this beauty in ways we could not imagine. I was able to see, that somethings can seem so devastated, but even with a now exsisting huge hole, she is a beautiful as ever given His grace and healing. Looking at this photo recently, I could relate to this magnifisant piece of God's creation. He is always in control of everything large or small, and if he can move mountains, he can and will move me. HIS GRACE IS ENOUGH!
