Ether 12:27
"And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them."
I went horseback riding a couple weeks ago. At first I was terrified. However, I discovered after a few minutes that it is actually not scary. It was incredible! I enjoyed it so much and I can't wait to go again. There was something so peaceful and adventurous about it.
I went rock climbing as well. Now this may seem strange, but truly, heights terrify me. I buckle and can hardly think straight. I don't even like jumping off the stages in church buildings. So rock climbing was difficult for me. After going up the wall a couple times (and controlling myself enough to stop shaking) I was able to enjoy myself. I had the opportunity to go a second time and I can honestly say, I love it now! I cannot wait for the next time I get to go. I think it is going to become one of my hobbies.
So, my goal of overcoming my fears is coming along. This competition is called the Tough Mudder. Just watch the video...I think I will be overcoming a lot.
However, I'm so excited!! It is going to be an amazing experience.
Pictures and videos will be taken so no worries. I will share the excitement later. But right now, I need to start training. I only have 8 months to prepare myself for near-death experiences. :)
