yeah! i totally forgot my favorite part of my sabbath weekend! flippin climbing! we went to a different place this time, and it was amazing (like usual). i climbed my first 35 meter wall... it was not as scary as i thought. just... really high. i discovered that its not the heights that bug me, its the edges. i could be near an edge 20 feet tall and i would get freaked out.. instead on a face 100 feet tall it didn't bug me. thought there was a spot where you had to cross over a big edge onto another face and so that caused intensely horrid rope drag for the last 50 feet.. felt like i was carrying someone up on my back with me. it was the most exhausting climb i've ever done but it was so satisfying.. mmm i love climbing. and lead climbing. after that we climbed top rope for a bit and i forgot how much more confidence i have when i dont' have to worry about clipping in an stuff... its such a different experience... all fun all the time though. i love climbing. i hate edges...
other'n that.. new week. john childres is our speaker, and he is pretty much amazing. authority of the believer is our topic, and john 1:12 (i think..) is our basis for discussion. its so good! he's a very wise dude. i'm also reading jesus freaks.. volume 2 and its consuming me. its so inspiring to read stories from believers that have stood up for the truth and died for it. honestly.. ugh. its so amazing. God wins. though through reading too much i think i've made my dreams depressing.. really depressing.. i was fighting with someone who was trying to kill me and i ended up killing him.. it was so sad cuz after i had (not gonna say how) killed him, he was dying and we were crying together cuz we were so sorry and uuugh i was so glad to be awake. thank goodness life is beautiful.
it may very well hit the fan. in the best possible glorious way.

edges eh? Maybe don't dwell on Eric's pics on FB, b/c he's all about sitting on a cliff/edge/ledge, dangling his feet, and scaring the wits out of his mother (and now brother)! I remember how freaked out I was on the high ropes at camp, and that was all secure, and only like 12-15 feet up...I'm really a wimp! So my stomach flips when I read what you just did! And once you finally get up...how do you get down? is that a silly question?
ReplyDeleteSorry about your dream...were you sleeping with your hands on your chest? That can make a difference you know! And God DOES win!!!! yeah!!! Missing you! Mom
i get down by getting lowered... it is a silly question but i forgive you. lead climbing is bringing the rope up with me and clipping myself in as i go up, but i still have a belayer below me, so its the same as top roping. i dunno if my hands were on my chest... but i was snoring super loud last night so back on to my side i go. miss and love you TOO
ReplyDeletehey you. the climbing sounds awesome. very jealous! he he. and dude, that dream sucks big time! I pray every night to have good dreams, and jesus always provides them when I ask.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I told you, but I'm going to Arizona in two week... gonna be hiking up a storm! I'm super pumped. e-mail me if you have time!
