I am alive!!!

I just wanted to post an update. Internet connectivity, cell phone reception, etc... is fairly crummy where I am. So with this little window of time I wanted to say that I survived both rafting and my Half Dome summit. My camera bit the dust when I dropped it and broke it on Half Dome, but that's ok. I will get a new one and I made some great new friends while hiking. Earl (one of the people I met) took some pictures of my on top of Half Dome and using the cables coming back down. The hike was incredible and it truly tested me physically, mentally, and spiritually. In fact I think I see something incredible that God is doing in me and in my life on this trip. He is making all things new. Last year when I went to Colorado He helped me refocus my life on Him and on Christ. Through that trip I was able to shave off the crap and truly be the man God wanted me to be. Now this trip...well this trip is about making a new life. I've met some incredible people on this trip...one in particular, I have a new job and city to go to when I get back, I have a new outlook on things, my attitude and my health are renewed. The list goes on, but what I see is God's hand moving in my life. He refocused me a year ago to prepare me for the loss I would endure, but also for the new things, people, places, relationships He would bring me. Thank you God for making all things new.
