A Trip to the Blue Mountains!

Hello again! Well, I just got home from a 3-day trip to the Blue Mountains with a few friends... As I said, we had a few days off after Colour Conference so we decided to rent a little cabin/cottage (very low-budget haha) up North a bit, and just get away from the "bubble" we live in here! It was a really nice getaway. The first night we were there we walked down the road a ways from our cabin and found a place called Govett's Leap. It was a lookout point over the Blue Mountains and it was absolutely breath-taking. Here's a snapshot of what we saw, although it doesn't do it justice:
We spent out first evening just going through a couple of trails in this area and taking in the amazing view. We took a BILLION pictures (check it out on facebook if you can!) and also just took a moment to pray together on the top of a cliff. It was a beautiful, magnificent moment. It just all hit me at once... Something this beautiful could never just "come into being." And this is only a fragment of God's masterpiece. It takes my breath away.

The six of us that went on the trip (from left to right: Trey, Me, Kyle, Frankie, Rand, and Angelique) had just decided at the last minute we wanted to take the opportunity to get away and experience a bit more of Australia. It was really nice and refreshing, and we have a ton of memories that will last a long, long time. :)

Other than the Blue Mountains trip, I am going back to normal classes starting tomorrow. It will be interesting as I feel I haven't been in regular school for a couple weeks now due to Colour Conference. Gotta get back into the swing of things now! Nothing major coming up anytime soon... Just back to school and back to the norm! I will blog again soon when I have more to say... Sometimes it's hard to figure out exactly what to write about! Anyways, will be in touch again soon! Sending my love...
