Climbing Mountains

I am the world's worst blogger I believe:) Haven't been here in so long I forgot my username and password...lol. Anyway, I decided to become a better blogger and share a few thoughts here.
I am about to attempt to climb Mt. Rainier again. I was invited by an East Coast couple to marry them atop Rainier & I jumped at the chance. I have been training hard, watching my diet, trying to get enough sleep and making sure I have all the proper gear. The training is the most intenstive part. Five times a week I am out in my shop lifting iron, doing endless pullups and crunching till my abs are crying. There are times my legs or back are so sore it is tough to move the next day. But you don't just stroll up Mt. Rainier you have to PREPARE for it and WORK for it. The same is true for life. I've learned that the best blessings, greatest experiences and deepest learning is on THE OTHER SIDE OF MOUNTAINS! Life isn't a moving sidewalk or stroll in the park...some treasures require lots of climbing. Let me encourage you...when you find yourself facing an uphill trudge, whether it is in a relationship or finances or employment or some emotional hill to climb, it is well worth it. So, start climbing my friend and know that God will strengthen you for the journey and meet you at the summit.
