Beautiful city and beautiful friends

My girls and I walked up "A" Mountain this past weekend. It was nice to take a step back from the crazy life and have a nice talk with my girls. Have I ever told you that I have the best friends ever? Well I do! Be jealous.




As we were walking up we all were kinda panting and getting tired.. There were more flat parts on the mountain and so you could kind of stop and look how far you have come. Some of us would say how at certain points, they didn't care to keep going and that they was satisfied with where they had reached on the mountain.. and it was too far to go to the top. But then one of us pointed out how the climb to the top of the mountain was like our journey to be back with our heavenly father. The climb was really hard at times but if we would just take a step back and look at the beaitful things around us, the trial of going up the mountain was then worth it. And would be even more beautiful if we could jsut make it to the top. The shoes kind of ressemble the holy ghost. It protects you from things that will hurt you or can potentially scar you. There was a railing along the pathway that you could hold onto.. which is kind of like a testimony. Hold onto it and make sure your grip is TIGHT or it will be hard to keep your balance and you could potentially fall. We eventually reached the top. The top of the mountain was so pretty.. looking at all the lights at the top of the mountain. If we would have given up and not kept on going to the top of the mountain, we wouldn't have understood how much was really in store for us to enjoy.


And this is why I have the best friends ever. We all have such strong testimonies and are there to lift each other up when we need it.
