Ferryland, Newfoundland: A Lighthouse, A Wedding & A SingSong

A lighthouse on a large hill is half-covered in fog. Several people, barely discernible, gather in a group around one another near the base of the lighthouse.

Hiking to the Ferryland Lighthouse in Newfoundland, we unexpectedly witnessed a wedding. Surrounded by fog, tide pools, and retirees singing Irish tunes, we couldn’t help but reflect on what makes a place sentimental. A moment of serendipity with my teens, as we discovered more than just a wedding.

The First Time I Felt God

In Fiji, while exploring ancient villages and hiking through jungle trails, I unexpectedly felt a profound spiritual connection. Amid stunning views and challenging hikes, God slipped into my soul, overwhelming me with joy and tears. It was a moment I can’t explain, but I knew it was real.
