How Virginia experiences God in nature: I have always felt closest to Jesus while out in the wilderness because it is his creation! I am reminded that I am beautifully and wonderfully made in his image by being close to his creations. Whether I am near babbling brooks or evergreens I find peace when I usually do my devotionals and I couldn't imagine living outside of the evergreens. His creation is beautiful and so am I. ---- As a thank you for sharing, she will receive a Starbucks card along with a PNW adventure pack with a Washington State Discover Pass, Insulated water bottle, Preparing the Way by John Mark Comer, and snacks and candies for their adventures.
