Day 4 - God's creation displays His nature and character. What did we learn about God today on our journey west?  

*God is good.  We saw beauty in amazing mountains, rivers, forests and ever-changing skies.

*God is awesome.  His works are perfect and huge and breathtaking!

*God is creative.  He has made the whole earth with ALL its diversity.

*God is powerful.  The evidence of avalanches, flooding and forest fire shows how God controls all of nature and we don't!

*God is merciful and kind.  We drove through all kinds of weather in a matter of hours: sunshine, rain, snow, fog, wind, back to sunshine.  And through construction zones through the mountains.  And we made it safely to our goal.  

*God is love.  I was feeling some anxiety as we embarked on our journey this morning.  Through Bible verses, worship songs and praying friends, I was able to relax and enjoy the drive.  I am glad I can rest in His love for me.

It was a day of incredible sights and an impromptu visit with a former NCEM intern at Sunnybrae Bible College.  After many hours in the vehicle, we felt buzzy and jittery.  A lovely walk down a quiet street in Abbotsford near our hotel was such a refreshing treat.  Green grass and some blossoming trees and plants gave us that needed boost after coming from snow and ice back home in Regina.  

We have had salads for supper in our hotel room while a load of laundry is being done across the hall.  We will be ready for our next few days on Vancouver Island!
