The LORD is my strength and my song;
He has become my salvation
He is my God and I will praise him,
my Fathers God, and I will exalt him.
Exodus 15:2
You probably couldn't tell by my hands that I belayed for almost 7 hours straight today. My body would have to agree on the matter. In no point did my mind or body say, "No! I refuse, this is crazy!" Instead my heart and mind rejoiced and happily worked, worked, worked. Today was a bit of an off day. Off days happen on earth more often then we notice and conflicts mixed with a bit of rain, make for sleepy eyes.
However even now being in my warm bed with the fan lazily making the comfort noise I love so much, I am smiling at the thought of what amazing people I work with and how blessed I am to be encouraged by each of them every-single-day. Between getting kids across the ropes course and Challenge course central becoming a common stomping ground for all 6 groups today, each of us contributed so much to helping things flow to the best of the days ability.
As I belayed a student up the redwood tree, I had to squint because of the white-gold sunlight hitting my face. The sun was shinning and the sky was blue after 3 straight days of rain. How awesome that these kids still got to come out here. It makes me think of past field trips that were rained or snowed out. How bummed I was in those old days. To even just provide a day in this amazing fog filled mystical place I am blessed enough to call my office, I was stoked to be able to share these great adventures.
There wasn't a single moment in my day I was tired. There wasn't a moment in my day I feel my heart wasn't smiling because of the souls around me. The Lord is my strength. And the paths that I continue to walk down I have been in the midst of amazing, profound, beautiful,humble company.
I am so, so thankful for that.
Lord thank you for the continued strength and all that you have continued to provide around me.
Amen...Amen
