43 miles and some impressive mountains!! Today we went up and down four mountain passes. One thing I discovered: I prefer going down the mountain rather than the hard climb UP! Reminds me of our faith journey: we lean towards our natural giftings because those are the things that come more easily. However, today I experienced over and over that there was no way to enjoy the wonder of the downhill ride without first pushing up the long ascent to the top of the mountain. So, even though it may be easier for me to pray for the lost rather than to tell my neighbor of the potential he has for a relationship with his Creator, both are vital for me to do! As you and I are pedaling along in our new life in Christ, let's do our best in every aspect and every challenge: the ups and the downs!
Well, I'm off to my tent and it looks like rain! Tomorrow will be another day of climbs and descents.
