Mount Timp!

I've decided that my MIDNIGHT adventure up to the top of Mount Timpanogos this past weekend is A LOT like our journey through life!
The trail is long and sometimes requires us to step over large rocks or cross little streams.
Sometimes we must walk up steep and slippery paths and other times the way feels dangerously downhill.
Only once in awhile do we feel like the ground we walk on is flat and easy.
There are times when we feel like giving up or think we might just freeze to death!
Times when we feel like complaining or turning back.
Times when we wish for things that we don't have.
Times when we have to help each other and work together so that nobody falls or freezes to death!
Times when we have to wait for things...and the wait seems unbearably LONG!
Times when we feel SO grateful for the things that we DO have.
Times when we feel so tired that we trip and fall and find ourselves having to get back up again.
Times when we think that we will never get to the end.
Times when we realize that it is ONLY by relying on the LIGHT that we know we will make it to where we want to go!

I am confident that if we follow the LIGHT we will look back on our lives and feel completely exhausted yet amazed at what we have accomplished and know that our journey, despite how hard it was, was definitely worth it!
