Every year around the middle of March college students everywhere get this funny feeling. It's that combination of stress and excitement that comes from knowing you have a million midterms between you and spring break. I always feel so lame when friends are talking about the island they'll be visiting over break and I say "oh yeah, just going home". Usually, however, home is exactly what I need. This year was no different. On Friday afternoon I headed home and boarded a van to go with my church youth group to Ridgecrest, North Carolina. It is one of my absolute favorite places. It was the high school spring retreat and I got to hang out the girls I love.
The weekend was perfect. I am always amazed at how God uses the most random people and situations to calm my heart. My favorite part of every trip to Ridgecrest is the hike up Rattlesnake Mountain. Standing on top of that mountain, my mind was blown away by the beauty. I was literally overcome with peace and the reassurance that the God who created all I was seeing also created me and restores me. As you may have guessed, I took about 5 million pictures. I've tried to condense to my favorites. Hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed taking them.
For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.
Romans 1:20
