About a month ago, while I was helping my dad deliver for FedEx, we had a package for someone who lives at the TOP of our mountain! Their driveway is actually the old road that used to come into the Cove...in like the 1800s or something. Dad and I actually walked up to the top of the mountain to deliever the package and I got the idea for a new goal in 2012!
Random Life Goal #321568 - Hike the old road into the Cove!
Now is as good a time as ever to start getting ready! I live in a mountain and I've never even explored off my own property! There's so much up there. Yesterday was such a lovely February day for a hike and that's exactly what I did. With Josiah as my guide, we walked from my house to "The Meadow" at Cove Valley Camp. We live like 1/2 mile from there, but seriously - it was less painful to walk through the woods than to walk down the lane and along the road. Maybe because the woods aren't as boring, or maybe I'm just crazy..haha...but I enjoyed it so much more!
Maybe this is why.... I found a tree to play in!
I often dream of standing in high places - like the tops of mountains, skydiving out of planes....those types of things. If I could be any animal - I would be an Eagle and soar all over creation..speaking of which we saw/heard one yesterday! Since I cannot yet fly all over creation...I might as well walk to the top of the mountains! There's something so beautiful about standing at the top of a mountain looking over everything below! You feel so free, so peaceful - unless of couse you're scared of heights - I don't want to keep dreaming about it, I want it to be a reality!
Thus my renewd interest in hiking.

My challenge to you: What's a random life goal and when are you going to do it?
Now is just as good a time as any! Go for it, and watch what God does in your life and how he uses you!
God Bless
