I encountered the Lord every day in the surrounding beauty of Alaska and the town of Seward. There was not a day where I was grew “used to” the scenery or thought it was normal. I stepped outside and was filled with awe of God’s creation.

I was out on a hike with my coworker and friend and we found ourselves talking about God and creation nearly the entire way.

It was a 14-mile hike to Lost Lake and the scenery was unlike anything I had seen in the three to four months spent in Alaska. My friend said, “You know I am really glad I went on this hike with someone else who believes in God, because we can appreciate it for what it really is and voice it!” That was so encouraging to hear.
