Matthew 28:19-20

"Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age."

Jackson Hole,WY and the Grand Tetons!!!

Ok, right now, folks, I am in my favorite place ever (besides Hawaii). I"m in Jackson Hole, Wyoming!! So lets start this off with whats first. So Thursday night, Linds and I stayed in Rapid City,SD and then friday got up to head out to Mount Rushmore! Pretty exciting stuff!!Then jetted out to Jackson! Mmmm, I love it here so much!! Anyways, we are driving through Wyoming. If you have never driven through Wyoming, there is pretty much not a McDonald's til you hit Jackson, yes..thats how like no one lives here. Traveling, we saw a population of 10! yeah, 10!! Anyways, to continue on this amazing adventure, we are approaching the Rockies. However we have to go through this SUPER SUPER small town of 169 people to get to the mountains. So the speed limit heading in is 65, then you slow down to 30 approaching Dubois,WY. So I slow down. The town is so small you pass it in a blink of an eye. Up ahead, the sign says, 55 so I start to speed up but slow down because the sign after 55 says, "Slow down slick roads". So Linds says, "There is a cop behind us" and I say, "ok" thinking she wanted me to make sure I'm going the speed limit. Linds says, "No, like with their lights on!" OH CRAP! So I pull over hoping it wasn't me, but it was.:( Sad day! I was going 47 in a 30. He caught me right when I was speeding up for the 55. LAME! I gotta pay $138. Well, bummed, we head up the Big mountain ahead. Its snowing and snowing. I"m going like 20 and people are passing me going maybe 45mph. I'm thinking, "Can't I get out of my ticket if I made up for going over 17mph because now I'm going like 25 under??" The roads on the mountain weren't slick at all but it was eventually cool because..there they were..The Grand Tetons! My most favorite mountain range ever! It was snowing so you could only see the bottom half but I didnt care! Linds and I saw anteloupe and buffalo! I mean, God is stinkin awesome on how he created nature!! mmmm!!! So we get into Jackson! So pretty! Lights, snowing! I was pumped! This morning, I got up to spend time with Jesus in Grand Teton National Park. Well, it was pitch white outside! Couldn't see a thing! I saw 2 Moose walking through but I could not see the Tetons :(. Super bummed so I headed back to Jackson Hole Coffee Roasters (Cafe) in Town Square. Dude, I have been learning to see Jesus as my lover! I'm so in love with my Savior! He told me that I'm the woman in John 4 who is so thirsty, but never satisfied! I so often look to relationships, friendships, boys, to fulfill me! I"m now on my journey of knowing Christ as my "Living Water" the One who can only satisfy!! Ugh, its soo good! I know this whole job is to have a time of solitude, to know Him as my Lover besides my God, my Savior, and my Counselor. Its like a honeymoon with Jesus. Though, its stretching and humbling, its so worth it! He brought me here to Jackson Hole, to be with Him because He knows how much I love nature, mountains, Christmas! Haha! I am so excited to be here in Jackson. I don't want to leave!! However, I hope to be back real soon!!!
