Hiking

Hiking can be a great experience if you are prepared for it. Alicia and I went hiking to Romero Pools on Friday. We weren’t prepared for the length of the hike or for the steepness of the path. I almost gave up about 6 times. I had to keep stopping to rest. We kept asking people along the way, “How much further is it?” They kept saying, “You are almost there. Don’t give up now.” But finally we reached the refreshing stream of water. It is beautiful up there, and the water felt great on our feet. After we rested a while we began the hike back. I wasn’t sure if I was also going to be able to make it back. I was exhausted and couldn’t wait to get back to the safety and comfort of my own home. Sometimes following God’s path seems difficult. But, I guess if we get in shape, we can do things we never thought we could do. I’ll have to exercise more before I attempt it again. But the scenery in the mountains was awesome! Arizona is a great place to be!
