I have hiked before but this week I did something completely new. I rock climbed and not in one of those fun walls with the colorful hand holds. I went up a mountain and my big brother David took me! It is so much fun and finally having leg strength and upper body strength helped me out with this one. Take that hours of gym going! It was amazing though. Remind me of the verse about having faith like a mountain. Psalms 125:1 "Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion which can never be shaken but endures forever". God has certainly been teaching me to be more faithful this last year!
Climbing taught me a bit more about humility as well. I like knowing how to do things, especially those that are surrounding athleticism so when I literally couldn't put my own harness on I decided to let go and just have fun the rest of the time and thankfully I got up every run. I even started doing yoga poses on the climb up and giving my brother call names like Charzard. Although my lovely brother cheated for me on one of them. I decided to call it a little extra encouragement! He even trusted me enough to let me be the one that help his rope while he climbed. God gave me an awesome gift this week, the gift to keep growing in both body and mind with my brother as a literal anchor. So blessed.
