The beauty of Lake Michigan.
The sunset. Wow!
Climbing the big one. This really reminded me of life. When I go through trials it seems like they are too hard and sometimes I just feel like giving up. What I noticed while climbing this huge dune was that as I neared the top I was all the more determined to conquer it. Yet the further I climbed the more laborous my steps were and the steeper the climb. Along with that came heavy breathing, screaming muscles and sweat dripping off my face. But, then I would hear some encouragement from the top of the dune, "Press on Melanie, you are almost to the top." I was also carrying a backpack with several people's stuff in it. It was tempting to unload the burden but I kept on. If time should last I plan to drop whatever useless burdens I might find myself carrying in life. Finally, I reached the top and what a great feeling that was to break open my backpack and drink some water. Everyone made it to the top where we enjoyed some songs and Bible reading together. God is so good to provide such beautiful places to worship Him. I want to thank Him for bringing friends into my life.

Melanie,
I miss the beach soooo much! I wanted to be in all those pictures! Thanks for sharing!
oooh, fun! I can't wait to see Lake MI again. We went to the Pacific Ocean a couple weeks ago and that was really nice.
