Over the weekend we did our trek in the Himalayas. It was amazing!! There our no words to describe our experience. Ashare was our guide, his sister Nibha, Amanda and I. It took us three days to get to Nag Tiba and we rested a day before coming back down. The first night we stayed in a valley next to a river in an abanded rice field, the next night in a field of daisies, and the next on top a mountain ridge. It was hard, I am not going to lie, but I would do it all over again. Here is what God taught me... There will be different people that you will met on your journey. Some will lie to you, some will speak the truth. We met people at just the right time when we would come to a fork in the path. Sometimes they would tell us the truth at other times, as costomary in India, they would give us the wrong directions. In life I have been told many lies and God has also put people in my life that have spoken wisdom in times of need.
In the sixth hour I wanted to give up!!! It was a lot of steep uphill climbs with a 50 pound pack on your back. We were tried and wanted to call it a day, but had to keep going to get to a place with water. At those times Amanda and I would break out those rusty cheers from our past.
Give me a V, dot the I, curl the C ...TORY!!!
The only way to get through hard times is to praise God and be joyful, or you will just want to quit.
After lunch it was hard to get going again. There are times in our lives when it is hard to get going again. After high school, after college, after my triatholon. We need to keep going in life and in the end there will be so many blessings. The pictures do not do the scenery justice.
