Mountain Stream

PIONEERS MUST HAVE VISION--VISION TO SEE WHAT NO ONE ELSE CAN SEE; FAITH--FAITH TO BELIEVE THINGS NO ONE ELSE BELIEVES; INITIATIVE--INITIATIVE TO BE THE FIRST ONE TO TRY IT; COURAGE--THE GUTS TO SEE IT THROUGH!


LONG AFTER THE VALLEY WAS IN DARKNESS I COULD STILL SEE THE SUN. THERE IS MORE LIGHT ON THE MOUNTAIN. The valley is almost always dark--full of people & things, but usually in darkness. The mountain is windy & cold but thrilling! You really have to have the feeling that it's really worth dying for!--ANY MOUNTAIN--THE MOUNTAIN OF THIS LIFE, THE MOUNTAIN OF ACCOMPLISHMENT, THE MOUNTAIN OF OBSTACLES, OF DIFFICULTY--IF YOU'RE GOING TO CLIMB THEM, THEY HAVE TO BE WORTH DYING FOR, to brave wind & cold & storm, symbolic of adversities. But on the mount alone you feel so close to the Lord! The voice of His Spirit there is so loud it's almost like it's thundering! The voice of the multitude is so loud in the valley, you can't hear the voice of God. The silence on the mountain peak is deafening! You get a real "high" on top of a mountain! It's a thrill! It's almost terrifying!


We had Wordtime outside the other day, it was super inspiring. We stoked a fire while reading a few old-goldy letters.



We roasted some marshmallow and apples, to supply food to our bodies whilst we were feeding our souls.



After I, and every daring Kat took a dip in the stream. Yes, it was freezing cold. And yes, I squealed, but hey in my defense everyone know that when you squeal in makes the water less cold.
Everyone you do know this, right?
