On the mountain

“Here on the mountain, the air is clear and your mind is clear.”

C.S. Lewis

We spent the day in the holiest mountains of all.

This is a place I have often come to literally lay my burden at the feet of the mountains…the Lord’s feet.

For me there has been no greater courage, no greater faith, than to accept the pain He has given me, and then to have the faith to give it back and allow Him to use it to change me.  Accepting the grief was the first step.  The second was having the courage to let it go again.

It was in this holiest of places that I first knew I could still feel joy.  Today I hiked and sat and waded, soaking both the rain and the sunshine in, thanking God for bringing me to this place.

“You would not have called to me unless I had been calling to you.”

– C.S. Lewis
