travel log: big sur

Tuesday, May 1

kevin and i have lived and traveled all over the world
but i will tell you, the california coast holds so much magic
that i will forever be lured by it's waves

kev and i took a mini-road trip here
santa cruz (my summer home growing up)
monterey
big sur
bixby bridge
california redwoods
julia pfeiffer state park
carmel

stillness. 
"Be still and know that I am God" 
one of those places. 
titanic...we couldn't resist
 handsome, and his brother
the sweetest candy shop you shall ever see in carmel-by-the-sea

this week i've been thinking a lot about silence and solitude and hearing sweet Abba's voice. ann voskamp, on her sweet blog wrote this: 

A better future always simply begins 
in a series of prayerful nows. 

this week, may we press into these prayerful nows, 
 knowing that 
prayer causes things to happen
that wouldn't happen if we didn't pray
and that now is the time

much love,
Katie

  2. You are so beautiful, Katie. You suffer from lupus? I have fibromyalgia. Oh my goodness, where do you live again? When can we meet up? I'd love to grab coffee sometime soon!

  3. I love the two of you! You are so encouraging-thank you for reminding me to bring everything to Him and ask expectantly knowing He is always on the move.

  5. I've been many places as well, all amazing. But there is something about that California coast that just makes the trip so much more amazing.
