charm

Every vacation is not complete without wonderful people to share it with. Tyler and I went on a trip with my family to Colorado, and along with enjoying each other's company, we enjoyed all the beauty around us.

clear skies, fresh air, and a beautiful view.

Telluride, Colorado has so much charm. I love small town charm.

Not to mention, gorgeous mountains that surround this quaint town.

grow

When planting a seed, it is very important to find the right home for the seed so it will bloom into a beautiful flower. A place where it will get sunlight and water. If you plant it in bad soil, it won't be able to grow, it needs good soil, a safe place to plant.

I think humans are like that too. We need to be planted in a place where we can get the things we need to grow, be nourished, and protected. But more and more I'm realizing its less about what surrounds the plant, or the person, and it only matters what they are rooted in. What their base is for growing. What's yours?

I choose God's word. Being planted in God's word keeps us safe and loved. Being planted in good soil enables us to grow, no matter what we are surrounded by.

"Be a rock to me where I live, where I may always come, and where I will be safe. For you are my rock and my safe place." -Psalm 71:3
