Last September we found ourselves in a valley. Initially things felt like they were crowding in around us as we questioned why in the world our lives had suddenly taken such a sharp detour. But we held on, even when the rope sometimes slipped, and we believed. We believed that when you're in a valley there's pretty much only one way to go, as long as you're looking up. It was not always pretty nor perfect, but it was filled with determination and hope.
Friday night we found ourselves on a mountaintop, looking out at a sea of lights. Looking out at the city, the possible lives we're called to now impact and that in turn will impact us. It was a beautiful view, a good view. A view so much more appreciated because of the bumps in the road that it took to get there.
"Hardship often prepares an ordinary person for an extraordinary destiny." ~C.S. Lewis
Here's to both the ordinary and extraordinary, and so mingling the two that it becomes hard to tell them apart. Here's to putting one foot in front of the other in faith. And here's to a God who is with you and for you both in the valley and at the peak.
