Shoshone Falls, Twin Falls, Idaho

So on our way home from our trip to Salt Lake,

I talked Nathan into stopping by the Shoshone Falls

and Dierkes Lake.

Here is the sign as you enter Dierkes Lake : )

I took a picture of Nathan as we were standing overlooking

the lake....

Here is where they have sectioned off for

a swimming area. To the right (outside of the picture)

is a nice beach and an area where you can have

a picnic...

Then you drive down a little ways to the Shoshone Falls

We parked the car and decided to walk down to

the lookouts. Below is a picture as we were

walking down to where you can look straight

across at the Falls....

Isn't this just beautiful???

I love waterfalls!

I thought this was really neat how there

was a rainbow in the water...

This is the other side of the river (the falls are on the

left, outside of the picture)

Look at the mountains behind the falls, and how the river

just flows over all of those rocks.

They say that Shoshone Falls is known as

the Little Niagara Falls of the West,

although it is 50 feet higher than the Niagara

Falls in New York. I thought that was an

interesting fact.

And one last picture of the area as we are getting

in the car to continue our drive home.

Miracles and Faith

Have you seen miracles in your lifetime? I have and without a doubt I’ve known it was only God’s grace and Him performing that miracle that the situation changed. I have been raised in the church and have seen many different miracles throughout my lifetime, but one of the more recent ones was when my youngest son was born. He was born at 30 weeks but had quit growing at 28 weeks gestation. He was only 2 pounds and 5 ounces when he was born. Now, I know that science and the medical field did everything they could, but I also know that it is a true miracle that he is alive today because there is only so much that humans can do on their own. It is a miracle that I survived that pregnancy also. I remember being at Heaven’s gates the night before my son was born. I was on bed rest in the hospital for 12 days before my son was born. That is one of the hardest things to go through when you have another child at home that you can’t be there to take care of them. I know that I know tha

Impossible!!!

1 Peter 1: 7-9 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: 9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. What is your impossible situation? What is your I need a miracle situation? I heard these lines in a song recently and it got me to thinking about how sometimes situations in our lives seem so impossible and out of control. We just don't know what to do about it or what to think about that situation. I read the above scripture in 1 Peter last week and it got me to thinking about how gold is refined by going through fire, diamonds are mined from deep within the earth. We wouldn't have the beautiful jewelry and precious metals that we have without the trials of g

Mustard Seed Faith

With Easter coming up soon I have been thinking about the Cross of Jesus. Most people know what the cross stands for, no matter what religion or non-religion that people have, but I have been thinking about the fact that we can lay our burdens down at the foot of the cross. Now, I have heard that phrase throughout my life, but lately I have really been pondering it. Do we ever truly lay our burdens down at the feet of Jesus and leave them there? My family has had a lot of health issues lately and sometimes it can be a struggle to have the faith to get through situations that you have no control over. My mom and I recently were talking about how we are the type of people who always want to control a situation or at least to be able to problem solve when something goes wrong. It is so difficult to sit back and know that there are no solutions to some problems. However, I know that with the faith of a mustard seed, God can still change the outcome. Have you ever seen a mustard see
