Higher

- So this is just a picture from the tower of a castle in Thun I was in this past weekend. 
Everytime I look at this picture or so many like it, I am amazed   at the awesome works of our God. 
I mean look at those mountains. The whole time I was in Interlaken Switzerland, my mind was so enraptured because all I wanted to do was climb higher on the mountains, into the clouds, to the very top to praise God fully. 

What a mighty God we serve. 

-Wow, I was just in Switzerland just over 24 hours ago, gazing a beautiful lakes and mountains and a month before that I was in Colorado gazing at those mountains. If I recommend anywhere to go in Switzerland, its for sure Interlaken. I had never even heard of it until my free travel group that week was like "hey, were going here, sound good?" and well I thought it sounded awesome with just the name alone. The town is not very big at all and is completely surrounded with lush green mountains that rise high above with white peaks and the occasional paraglider sailing through the air. Everything fell very nicely into place with this entire trip. Our hostel ended up being not to bad and the staff was super friendly and even gave us visitor cards that got our group discounts and free public transportation. The majority of our time spent there was just walking around the small Swiss town, enjoying the beautiful days on sunshine we encountered (it was suppose to rain all three days). We also got the chance to hike to the top of a mountain where one of the oldest most well preserved medieval castles from Europe stands. We also got the opportunity to relax by one of the lakes, where some of my friends were brave enough to swin despite the ice cold water. I can't even describe how blue the water was. It was almost unreal until you got close enough that you knew it was no illusion. Our time spent there was short but we made memories that will last, even if my camera died an hour before we got there. We were higher up, above so beautiful things. All I can say is Thank you God.
