Niagara: The Falls and the Fort


Niagara: The Falls and the Fort
        
        In my last post, I told you all I would be sharing four more posts about my family’s trip to New York and Pennsylvania.  In those, I said I would share with you all some of the lessons I learned from our experiences up there.  Well, as it is, plans have changed.  To be entirely truthful, I don’t feel the Lord’s leading in my writing of those posts.  The lessons were great, but I feel Him calling me to share with you lessons from the present and to move forward expectantly and wide-eyed to what He wants to share with us now, rather than what He taught me during those weeks past that are growing farther and farther away.  I found myself not truly enthusiastic about writing those posts and yet, eager to write them so I could move forward and share with you all lessons the Lord is teaching me now.  I hope I’m not causing any great disappointments to any of you by my decision.  However, here are the pictures of Niagara Falls and Fort Niagara that I had promised to share with you all.  I wish I could show you all a video of the falls as well to give you the full effect, but if you’ve been reading Heart-chords for a while now, you know that I don’t have much success at uploading videos and getting them to play properly.  So I suppose pictures will have to suffice, but like any breath-taking experience, they don’t do Niagara Falls justice.

See the very top of the boardwalk where the water's crashing down?
My dad and I went all the way up there and it felt like a hurricane! I thought I was going to get blown away! I screamed even.  :)
