Hawaii!! Mountains & Sea

Having just returned from two weeks (two WEEKS!!! Yay!) in Hawaii ~ so grateful for the r&r and the refreshing times with dear friends that it was.

Gorgeous scenery every time you turn around, as my friend said "O my... even the pigeons are pretty here!" Photos to come shortly after I weed through the 800 shots of gorgeous scenery.

Trip report and full photo album coming soon, and a couple of shots and a quick thought in the meantime ...


There is such beauty in the landscape of the Hawaiian islands. The mountains and the ocean are in a perfect stunning juxtaposition, and I thought many times on the Creator of this beauty. It is so majestic, and so awe-inspiring.



At the end of my time there, my last morning in fact, my One Year Bible readings included both Psalm 46 and Mark 11.

Those passages (coincidentally?) read:

"God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, "
~ Psalm 46:1-2

“Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them."
~ Mark 11:23

As big as the mountains are, God is bigger. It is a wonderful and beautiful reminder.
