Week Seven - Refreshing

I went to a retreat this weekend with a friend and her church. We drove up North for HOURS and once we got into the site and into our cabins - it began to snow!! I was the happiest girl on earth. We went to bed and got up extra early to do a morning "hike"; We walked up and around the retreat's property and saw all the amazing huge trees covered in snow. Because we got up so early, the sun was still pretty low and hidden behind clouds. By the time we got back to our cabin, the sun was up. The picture captures it well. It was awesome because it wasn't fully burning through the mist or the fog, but it was intense enough to brighten the whole area as shown in the picture. It was so refreshing and the way the sun barely breaks through the cloud shows the crisp feel of the morning. It was an incredible experience.
