fall's here but one can hardly agree when it's 45 degrees celsius here!

but today was an Eph3:20 day for me. 

Erin invited us to come with her and some friends: Gordon, Eliana, Olga, n 2 boys - Benny n Benton. Erin kindly came and pick us up at the dorm. 

went hiking around Brandy Creek and up to the waterfalls. had a little trouble climbing there but soon i got more used to it. it was cool up in the mountains. the view and the forest got me really glad. took alot of pictures. one of those were of hundreds of ladybugs. whole logs were full of them. Oliver told us that ladybugs are called "defender of the harvest." and farmers love them cos they eat aphids and other pests that destroy their crops. 

at the waterfall i had a wonderful time worshipping God. i felt God's presence sitting there on the rock. 

after getting back into our cars, the boys went down to the another waterfall to swim. we didnt go cos the climb down was taxing. i thought we wouldnt have another chance to swim. Olga suggested we go to the lake to eat our very late lunches after 3pm). 

after understanding where we were heading to Whiskeytown lake i was elated. 

last sat my dorm friends went to whiskeytown lake n i chose to stay back to do my book reports and spend time reflecting. i told God i wanted to go to the lake and around the mountains but not that sat.

God answered the very next sat! and over and beyond! we had great company. and food. and i escaped the heat.
