It's officially November and I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! The weather here in Rexburg definitely believes it though! Since yesterday it's been rain all day and wind like crazy! But I am just so thankful that Fall has lasted as long as it did for us this year. Usually by this time we have snow and it's just not the most happiest place on earth.
Just last week I walked up to the temple that is seriously like 3 blocks away and I took some pictures of campus and of the amazing view from the top of the hill. Looking back at those pictures I've been able to reflect on the beauties of this earth that only a loving God could have created. It's ridiculous to look out on a sunset and NOT believe in a God. I just don't understand how some people go about their days and never think once where all of this beautiful world came from. These things have recently been on my mind and it's definitely got me thinking.
Why don't I stop for just 2 seconds when I'm walking to campus to just notice and appreciate the beauty of all that is around me? Take the time to stop and take in everything. Sights, sounds, smells...all of it. I have been blessed with this day so why am I not taking it in for all that it is worth?
This is truly the challenge of life: Living for today and taking it all in as if it will be your last.

Beautiful Rexburg view...
Hi girl. Love the pictures but I must say that it looks chilly there. Brrr. Hope you are doing well. You are such a beauty :) Love, Caryn
ReplyDeleteWow those pics are beautiful. I especially love the first with the temple. I should take your advice and take time to just notice what's around me more often. There's so much beauty! I agree, how can we think that there's not a Divine Creator when look at this earth?
