This weekend I went on more hikes than I have in a very long time. I learned some lessons. God’s world will make you feel small, and I didn’t mind it. I had to push through mental blocks and physical exhaustion. It’s been a long time since I’ve showered in sweat. When I completed these tests, I felt like I conquered the world. In a way I did. My body held and so did my spirit. No small feat. I had to take small steps. I was forced to stop thinking and just move. This weekend proved that I’m more than able.
I love hike and you described how it feels perfectly, some of the hikes are very challenging and the sense of accomplishment is amazing, and the beauty of nature makes you feel so close to God.
ReplyDeleteGood for you! I also see God in nature, his creation is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome and beautifully written.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you got to take a hike in the mountains. They will do everything you said. I am surrounded by them and take in all the beauty, but I must get out there like you did and walk and walk.

*thank you for all your visits and sometimes just to wish me a lovely day.
Sounds good
ReplyDeleteSounds like it was a good weekend all around, I think we sometimes limit ourselves or what we think we can do, so refreshing when we just go for it!
ReplyDeleteI love hiking! The beauty of the mountains always makes me feel closer to God. :)
ReplyDeleteEach time you go it will be easier and easier. Good for you.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day. ♥
Wonderful. I am very happy for you.
ReplyDeleteWay to go. I love that you are pushing yourself and felt rewarded!
ReplyDeleteGo calmly, little by little and be careful with intramuscular lactose pain. In Spanish it is called "agujetas".

Beautiful post-I am looking forward to getting to know you. I love what I have read...God bless you!
ReplyDeleteI used to belong to a walking group and always found it to be one of the few activities that really made me feel free. For the few hours that we were out in the country just concentrating on the walk was heaven x
ReplyDeletefeeling small against the world...that is indeed a good feeling!!
ReplyDeleteIn a way your words could be a proof that the limits are somehow more in our heads, than in our bodies.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad for you!
Be well!❤️
Good for you, well done!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! And, in this heat, even more impressive! I hope you have a great week!
