Covering the Mountain

I love to be in nature. I love taking walks, hikes, being adventurous, just relaxing. You name it - if you can do it in nature i want to try it (or at least watch others trying it). This past Friday I went on a hike in the 8+ inches of snow that blanketed the Mountain. The Savage Gulf State Park trail head has become one of my favorite hikes on the Mountain. From different trails you can see Savage Falls from afar and also from on top. It's a good 2 miles to get to the falls. I love the feeling I get every time I hike to these falls. The closer I get, the louder the falls get. I can tell if I'm getting off course because the falls get quieter. I see God this way in my life too. The closer I get to Him, the more I can hear His voice. If I stray then His voice is harder to hear. I have to stop and pay attention to where I am and see which direction I have to go to be able to hear Him again. Then just as when I turn the last corner and see the waterfall right in front of me, I can also get close enough to God that I can see Him everywhere in every part of my life
