God's Creation

Daughter number 3 has decided she wants to go off to college in Colorado. This is somewhat strange in that we had never taken her there. She really has never been around mountains. But this has been a strong draw for her in picking a college (nevermind the academics!). And she has been insistant about it. Its almost like Richard Dryfus in Close Encounters...

A couple of weeks ago she went off to Durango with a freind's family. When she came back she pretty much had confirmed her desire to be in the mountains.


So it makes me wonder why? Why would she be so insistant on this?

Some of it I'm sure is just leaving the nest. If your parents have always done certain things then you naturally want to go off in a different direction and set your own way. She isn't the adventurous type though so I would have never expected this from her. But I'm suprised by her everyday as she is changing into an adult before my eyes.


But still its a mystery why she is being drawn to the mountains so strongly. I can only assume this is her calling and that God is directing her there. And that she is awed and inspired by God's creation in such a beautiful place. And therefore she may not know exactly herself why but just knows that its what she must do.
