Going to Colorado

So yeah...I am going to Colorado by myself in a few weeks. Its a bit of a spiritual journey out into the wilderness. I am extremely excited and yet at the same time incredibly anxious about it. I calculated the distance and I am planning on hiking 24 miles while there, so it will be physically exhausting, but so worth it. I have been training for the past month, running, working on my upper body and my legs to get into mountain hiking shape. One of my goals/desires was to summit Longs Peak...but after the 2-3 feet of snow blocking my way on the Ledges, Narrows, and Trough section of the hike...that's not going to pan out.

So my request of you is to keep me in your prayers. Pray that I get the chance to see/hear what God is teaching me while in the wilderness. Also pray that this journey gives me a chance for rest. Just the thought of sitting down and just soaking up this beauty is a nice breath of fresh air.

Below are just a few of my destinations...enjoy!
