The Adventures of...

The Adventures of....

Aren't all of our lives full of adventure? There is no straight line in life, is there? We have ideas of what our life "should" look like, a nice, flat, smooth road. But we know that is not realistic.
What IS real is that there are forks in the road that we have to choose between.
There are sometimes speed bumps we must cross.
There are little 'bunny hills' we must traverse.
And then, there are some mountains we must climb. And what more adventure is there than in mountain climbing?
Those speed bumps and bunny hills really are just preparation for the mountain.
My life has been one adventure after another. Each it's own different kind of speed bump, bunny hill and mountain. (I've often joked my life could be a real life soap opera!) But each adventure has built up to bigger and 'better' mountains to climb. Gaining Strength and confidence in each one.
Thank God for the "safety ropes" in family and dear friends who are there to help pull you up when you lose your step and help you guide your way by guiding your next step because they have already traversed the way or can see from a different perspective. And it's those same people who will celebrate with you when you reach the summit!

the Story isn't in the "goal", the story is in the climb!

Strength is not at the summit, but is in the climbing!
