the Marvelous Obsession


It is a new summer for me...in fact, this summer is almost over. I look back at this past year since I last wrote in this blog and I have realized that I have had a ton of great experiences and adventures. Unfortunately I didn't keep up with them in this blog; however, that is something that I would like to change.


Over the next few weeks I would like to unfold my certain adventures in brief stories or synopses...they may be creative and capture your interest, or they may be simply boring and dull descriptions of occurrences. Whatever the case, I feel that I would like to share some of this with you as I continue this great adventure of life day by day.

I find that the world revolves around beauty. It is the concrete foundation for which we function; a motivator. It grabs hold of us and takes us through life...



Creation is the pinnacle of beauty, for in creation we not only see and marvel at beauty, but we find purpose for ourselves in the midst of it all. It is in this God-given, Creatively designed and purposed marvelous obsession that we see our Creator glorified in the beauty of creation.


The next few posts I will put up are from a recent backpacking/roadtrip that I have just recently come back from in the Pacific Northwest. In it all I have been blessed to be surrounded by the beauty of God's creation and to soak up His glory in rain and shine. Through these posts I will unfold my understanding of the purpose in beauty and the design for it in our lives; how my experience and encounter with the beauty of creation has brought me along in my walk with the Lord.


There is a reason for this marvelous obsession...it leads us to our Sovereign Lord. If you are open to it, please join me on this journey as I go from the stunning Colombia River Gorge to the gorgeous Oregon Coast to the vast country of Mount St. Helens.
