A few photos from my recent trip to Yosemite.  Didn’t get a chance to take nearly as many photos as I would like, but I had the opportunity to do some serious hiking, which led to pushing myself further than I thought I could.  That’s always a good thing.

Also been thinking about Matthew 5:13-16.  Being Salt and Light.  I never quite understood that until recently.  I don’t think I’m nearly there, but I do try.  I want to have purpose.  And for me, it starts with letting go of some stuff.  Someone told me about a week ago that I have “a sweet presence” and they like being around me.  I was truly humbled.  I have also recently “put 2 & 2 together” so to speak regarding my relationship with God and my relationship with others.  Apparently when my relationship with God is solid, it reflects my relationship with others, making them more solid as well.  Huh.  Imagine that.  I have noticed when I let go of my anxiety, especially when people let me down, and claim peace instead, I seem to have better interactions with my friends.
