I can do it, I CAN climb this wall!

This picture is proof of the big step I made this summer.  I know all it looks like is me on  a rock wall, but for those who really know me this is a HUGE accomplishment for me and my self esteem.  Just 2 weeks before this  picture was taken I had cried climbing another wall because it scared me to death.  It scared me because I saw all the what ifs, like what if I slip and fall and get hurt, what if the people around me think I am weak, what if I can't do it.  These are what held me back, I was scared of something that could happen, I didn't think on the bright side what will happen.  What will happen if I get over this wall I will be able to go home and tell my family I climbed a wall made of logs covered in mud, I accomplished this with the help, and encouraging support of my dear leader Jordan and one of the Bolivians.  In this picture I am climbing a rock wall something I have refused to do since I was in grade school when I last tried and couldn't get any father than a foot off the ground, It hurt my self esteem.  Looking back now I realize that I have a good reason to not want to climb things, I have no upper body strength, I usually do end up getting hurt, or feeling depressed when I can't climb the obstacle in my way.   I however climbed this wall with no tears, a high self esteem, and learned that I can do it.  In fact I can do anything I put my mind to with God on my side. 
 God gave me the determination to conquer the obstacle in my life.  He does this every day he gives us the tools, power, determination, and a team of supporters, to help us over that wall in our life.  The next time you feel scared because of the what ifs remember that only God can control what happens over the wall and it will strength us in him.
