I'd never gone REAL rocking
climbing. Sure I had been to a rock wall or two, but that's not exactly
the same. My roommate had to fulfill one of the requirements for one of
her classes so I decided to join her. On our way to the canyon I
realized how inadequate I was. Every one in the car was talking about
the other times they had been rocking climbing and I just stared at my
roommate. " What did I get into?" I thought. After most people had gone
up one of the instructors that came with us said if I was ready to give
it a try. My roommate was going to belay me and although I trusted her I
was still scared. I think she could see that I was a bit frightened so
she asked, "do you trust me?" I quickly replied " Uh..yeah" So
off I went. I did trust her, but I didn't really trust myself. What if I
stepped on the wrong rock? What if the anchor would come loose? What if
the rope just broke? Every bad thing that could happen was going
through my brain. On the other hand I was ready for the challenge
or else I wouldn't have came. I took a deep breathe in and up I went.
My roommate and instructor started telling me which rocks I should step
on and where I should put my hands. It became easier as I could
feel where I was going. Looking back at this experience I learned a lot
of different things. I learned that although I may not always know what I
am doing or where I am going if I put my trust in the Lord he will guide me exactly where I need to go.
The Lord has put different people in our lives like family and friends
to help guide us through this journey. We may not know everything, but
if we are up to the challenge and take things as they come
The Lord will never leave our side...
