Crater Lake National Park: Day 1

Our last weekend together as a family, we took a three-day camping trip to Crater Lake National Park. Crater Lake is Oregon's only national park and it is only 3 1/2 hours from us. :) It was our first time to this park and well worth it. It is also a great park that you can experience in a weekend.

August 19-21, 2022

The land heading up to the lake in the park is pretty barren. Not much vegetation grows.

Our first views of Crater Lake!

The reflections on the lake were quite beautiful!

The varying blues were amazing too.

W.O.W.

We met our friends, the Gulden family, at the park and took a hike together.

And take in this view!

The trail to the summit.

For dinner, I made Rustic Italian Tortellini Soup and quesadillas.

The perfect ending to a day out in nature. :)

As my daughter says,

"Hot cocoa in these cups just hits different." :)

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure. 100 Days of Joy and Strength. I was struggling last night. Darkness seemed to overwhelm me. The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope." Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;" II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me. Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light." Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."...
