"Lord, this is yours"

Content loneliness. That is what I felt as I sat there among the beauty: the trees, the lake, the blue sky.

And there among the beauty, I made a wish.
I threw my lucky penny into the lapping waters of the mighty Lake Superior.

But November 11 of 2011 was more to me than just a day to make the perfect wish. I stood there, in awe, I gave control over to God. I didn't wish; I prayed. It was a prayer of giving over to God. A prayer where I threw my hands up into the air and said "Lord, this is yours".

Before I left the rocky shore of Lake Superior I stood on the highest rock and said these words over and over again: "I'll stand with arms high and heart abandoned in awe of the One who gave it all".

Each time I struggle with peace of mind, fear, loneliness, and uncertainty I return to this prayer, and I am reminded that God has got this.
