Angel's Landing

A friend decided a few weeks ago that we needed desperately to hike Angels' Landing in Zion's National Park.  I had no idea that it was a "strenuous" 2.5 mile hike until I looked it up a day before.  Yes, I go to the gym or go walking at least 3 times a week sometimes more (or less) depending on my mood.  But I wasn't quite as prepared as I had thought but at least my legs kept up with my body for the whole hike.  Now my lungs and swollen hands were totally different.  I stated before in the blog that I have exercise induced asthma.  It really didn't help me on this hike, nor did the elevation of the mountain and I mean mountain!  That was no hill.  I think I stopped at least 50 times going up, but I kept going.  I had wonderful people who would stop with me and kept me going.  I didn't want to quit because I don't like to give up on anything.  I have to keep going even if I fall, trip or am so sore I can't walk for days.  Keep on moving!!

Trust

"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thy own understanding.  In all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy paths."  Proverbs 3:5-6  Trust has been on my mind recently.  I am not one to easily trust others.  I admit my past experiences with people plays a role in this.  Especially when it comes to men.  Being so hurt by my ex has left a few scars on my heart and I guard it with every ounce of my being so I will not have it happen again.  Yes, I know that relationships are all different but until someone can prove to me that they want to capture my heart, it will remain guarded.  What does this have to do with the scripture mentioned above, trust.  Trust is earned, not something that is given freely.  In order to trust, we must believe and hope for something better.   The Lord has a better understanding of what is to come.  He has a plan. I trust in him for I am a Daughter of God and he wants what is best for me.  I am grateful that he is there for me when I need him and I can put my trust in him.  

More Bubbles

More Bubble Run pictures!!  In the first one I am the tiny head in the middle.  I kept walking right in the center of the bubbles.  Why not, it's not like you do this everyday.  

Look carefully and you can see Madi smiles!
