Log Cabin Weekend

In our Church, we have a Titus 2 woman who has been super good to a group of us girls in teaching a Bible study on Romans over the Summer which has benefited us all so much!  

This past weekend, our study group went up to one of the girl's families cabin and kind of did a recap on the study, sharing what had impacted us the most, as well as spending time with each other, hiking and so forth :)  

I'm so grateful for this group of fun, but solid people who get together to both enjoy each other and keep one another accountable!

Breakfast - best meal of the day....orange juice, hot chocolate, eggs, Pillsbury Doughboy biscuits, sausage and fruit!  Can you get any better than that?!?

 Sitting on the porch in PJ's to talk until lunch time...

Hiking up to 'the bald' on the border of Tennessee and North Carolina.

In our Bible study, we divided the book into 5 main sections: 

Sin, Salvation, Sanctification, Sovereignty, and Service.  

sooo, this is us on top of a mountain, demonstrating the 5 different sections in Romans:

What can I say?  It was awesome!!!

ahh....don't ya just LUV it???

Well, Tuesday is already gone (hey!  life happens...) so I might as well just put a 'Picture of the Week' up just to say that I did something!  :)

But yet again, iPhone pictures (that I didn't even take) will have to suffice.  (It's not the most convenient thing to lug a big ol camera up a mountain....I'm always worried that I might drop it over the cliff or something :P )

We went hiking this past Sunday afternoon with a group of kids from our Church up to Table Rock - nothing like hiking in Fall weather, eh?  :D

Keep Calm & Tuesday On - Short-Off Mountain

Huh.  It's a funny thing . . . One week we are at the beach soaking up the ocean, and the next we are climbing a mountain.

Hike in the fog

A couple of Saturdays ago, we went up to Mount Mitchel with the Cookes to hike and Caelen somehow managed to get some shots through all of the fog.  I LOVED the ones where we were jumping off of various things on the mountain, so I decided to post :P

Psssst.....while we were there, we got the opportunity to have a great conversation with a man who did not know Christ.  I was sooo proud of Matthew and Nathan for the respectful way they asked questions and gave answers to him. :)

 The fog cleared some while we were hiking. . . I <3 all of the hemlock trees up there!!!  Makes it feel so. . . mountanish :P

Hike to Hawk's Bill

This hike would probably have to be my most favorite hike with a a view. The view is breathtaking! Just another reason why we worship such a wonderful Creator! I warn you! This is a LONG post due to many beautiful pictures of the mountains! :)

The Sealy's showed us this hike

Waiting for the grown-ups to catch up

This is what we found at the top

Nathan found this really neat crack in the rock to get down to the lower levels of the mountain. This is a picture of Josh and Mrs. Sealy descending into it...
