Josh
YOSEMITE, Calif. (BP)--Today was an incredible day. I had so much fun. When I first saw the small rock that we were going to be climbing and repelling down off of I was very upset. I really wanted more of a challenge then that. I was really worked up over the whole thing, and then it seemed as though we were getting ripped off. After we finished with the small rock they told us that they had a surprise for us. We walked a few hundred feet from where we were to a taller rock. This rock was gigantic. I didn’t think we were going to climb it, but we did. It was so much fun. It was about 140 ft. tall. It was so hard to climb too. I loved the challenge that it gave to me. It literally is one of the hardest things that I’ve ever done. I was so happy that I did it though.

Once I got up to the top the view was so gorgeous that I could hardly speak. It was literally breath taking. That is kind of like a spiritual life. You work so hard to get closer to God, but it takes a lot of work. If you don’t find the right stepping-stone then you will fall. That is why you should let Jesus be your stepping-stone. Chip is a good example of this. We made a bet that if he didn’t make it up to the top of the cliff then I could shave his head, but if he did then I would have to ware a shirt that said, “Biker Chick” on it and ware make-up. I ended up losing the bet and got a little upset, but I was really proud of Chip. He did an awesome job and earned every bit of the bet.

Later that night we went to eat dinner. It was so good. Before dinner we all went out by the river and waded in it. Everyone wanted to take a picture on the log, so I took one for the team and dove into the water. I grabbed all the cameras and took the picture for everyone. I really wish I could have been apart of the picture, but I think I’ll survive.
