I have had a rough past couple of months with surgerical procedures and therapy for my knee. Just being 30, it makes you feel older than you really are. Everday its a uphill climb and somedays along the way I hit a plateau, but there is still the rest of the mountain. How do you get there? If you have ever seen someone climb mountains you notice there are lots of equipment involved, training, and support. In life we need those same things to climb those mountains in life. The equipment we all must need is the word of God. I'm not a huge reader, and at times fail on reading my bible like I should. But that piece of equipment is something I need on those days I face a challenge. The training we need in life is what it teaches us. Also another good training device is watching and listening to someone who has faced that challenge and conquered it. They know the paths and most of the time are willing to help. The support we have is friends, prayer, spouses, and sometimes a good attitude. The biggest support we have is God. He told us he would never leave us or forsake us...GOD don't LIE! Through the whole process He's been there to help me with every climb. When I hit a plateau, He shows me the path to the rest of the mountain. Without Him, how could I ever be able to conquer? Today I live and think of verses James 1:2-6
