On the rocks of the Garden of the Gods, "I love you Jesus. I love you God" erupted from the heart of Sophia as she scurried across those red testimonies to God's incredible creativity. It was as if her little body could not contain the emotion and the words of praise simply gurgled forth in sponteous wonder.
If anybody belongs on the rocks of Colorado, it is our Sophia who has faithfully collected bits of stone from every place she has set foot this summer. The exception was the Badlands of the Dakotas where it is illegal to take rocks of any kind. Her collection is growing by the day even as we remind her in equal portions that it will be impossible to get them back to Bulgaria. Her search continues for any rock that sparkles and reflects nature's beauty in some dynamic way. Her walking stick is her ever present companion as she scales pathways and mountains in search of her own version of a prescious stone. In the same way that her testimony for God's love erupted from her mouth, our own hearts swell as we watch our sweet girl discover and appreciate God's thumbprint etched across the landscape of our world.
