A break from chopping vegetables

Hanging out with girls from the ministry near Canyon after a brief snow.

Every morning I stroll to breakfast as the pristine ice covered body of water...which will one day reflect the Lake Yellowstone Hotel...quietly reminds me, "You live here for the summer." Granted, none of us have even begun to feel even a glimmer of what "summer" actually is here due to the constant snowfall, but it is a break nonetheless.

Unexpectedly, I received three full days off work to become a kid again in the playground surrounding me. We hiked Elephant Back trail where the lake screamed at us far off in the distance...an unexpected but incredible sight. The waterfall at Canyon filled my mind with pictures which photographers from all over the world seek to capture.Yesterday we watched Old Faithful erupt as she always does...nothing new in that one. Yet, even a trip to Walmart in Cody today proved to be an exciting adventure.

And early in the morning I will clock in for my shift in the kitchen pantry. A day full of chopping vegetables and hastily following recipes, many of which I have no idea what the finished product should look like. (Wouldn't you love to eat in our restaurant?) 

Above all, what a great thing to remember that the pressure is off. In my job. In figuring out plans. In every conversation with every other person who seems to be from North Carolina. I walk ahead knowing He goes before me and behind. Heck, the Lord made those oranges which I am dissecting in order to serve with fancy salads. Love it.
