adventures Archives • Into the Light Adventures

From Sunrise to Sunset, we were at one of our favorite state parks over the weekend. A place we have been to more times than I can count. Todays post is dedicated to my husbands son, my son in my heart. We have so many memories of hiking these woods with our son, when he was just a little guy waring his camo pants and running parkour all over this park.

This picture is him, when he first got to Texas for the Air Force, he looks so young here. He had to get use to the temperature, hot and lots of beautiful white sand in some places.

And now he looks all grown up, he came home last night as he gets a little time off before his next big adventure. He is shipping off to another country for 3 years. He is excited about the journey ahead, he is prepared. His Dad taught him all about being prepared and yet to still enjoy life. He knows who he is and what he wants and most importantly he knows the Father.

As you start your journey on this day, know this, I will guide thee with the Light of Me. For I the LORD, will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee. For you shall not walk alone.

I send thee out with the Light of my Strength

Lean not unto your own understanding and I shall direct thy paths.

So from sunup to sundown, we think of this young man going off on the biggest adventure of his young life. And may our Father keep him and bless him all the days of his life.

Just a Little Wind Today

By Sandra | October 11, 2020

Just a Little Wind Today, on this particular day the wind was blowing very hard so I decided to go up to Lake Superior to see how big the waves might be. Well, when it is windy at the lake, the water takes on different colors, there is a lot of clay and it gets all stirred up on windy days. (video below)

So I was just walking along the beach, looking at all the trees laying on the beach and watching the waves coming in. It is pretty loud when the weather conditions are like this.

Waves have been known to be pretty big up here in certain areas along the shorelines.

Lake Superior buoys north of Marquette, Mich., part of the Great Lakes Observing System, reco r ded waves of 28.8 feet, the highest ever recorded on the Great Lakes. The measurement is an average of the tallest third of the waves over a ten-minute period, which means some waves could have been even higher.

And today some folks were taking advantage of the waves and the wind. These look like flying bonnets. 🙂

But no, they are a couple of para sailors. I watched them for awhile, now it is pretty cold up here today also. I have to give them credit, they made it look like fun.

Just one Ringed Billed Gull happen to fly by as I was sitting on this log enjoying a wonderful day at the lake.

Bond Falls September 2020

By Sandra | October 4, 2020

Bond Falls September 2020, I have been hiking this area for years now. This is my last trip for this year. There is just something about waterfalls, especially in the middle of a forest that I just love to visit. For me, it is quite something to stop and sit for awhile near a waterfall and just watch and listen to the rushing of the water.

The water is like life, it has a beginning, we are not sure exactly where that is. It travels through many twist and turns, rocks and sand. And it is all heading somewhere, to a larger body of water where it becomes one as like the seas.

I’ve noticed that over the years, there have been patterns in the choices I have made. A pattern of thoughts and visions. Every choice I made good or bad, every twist and turn of the path of my life has led me to where I am today.

When I was younger I could not understand why I had to go through all the troubles, as many people have had to do. For me, now that I am at the young age of 59 years old. I can honestly say the pains of the past are in the past.

Life is about learning, love and laughter and helping others the best we can. Even if it is through our abilities to get through the hard times, that is what makes us who we are. I learned to let go and trust in the Light that surrounds me.

Lean not unto your own understanding and He shall direct thy paths.
