Sedimentary

natural, weather-beaten

years in the making.

There is something so completely captivating about ancient rock formations. Existing on this earth for thousands and thousands of years, one cannot stand in the presence of these unbelievable artistic sculptures designed by The Divine stroke of Genius, without being in awe. While I have never visited these monolithic formations in person, they are still enchanting and mesmerizing as they pop so dimensionally in a photograph.

Solid as a gem

unshakeable and stoic

sculpted by God’s love.

When I think about the strength and endurance of these mammoth rocks, even through years of erosion, there is a steadfastness that has lasted through the ages as they weathered many storms. This example shows me how pain and heartache can chip away at us, but with our steadfast spirit, on the solid rock we stand, we witness a resiliency we never thought we had.
