I am so excited! Why? You might ask...
Because I am going to see my mom and my bro Clayton this weekend! And I get to take some of my wonderful friends to see the Grand Canyon - one of the most awe-inspiring places that the Lord has put on this earth. Going there seems to put everything into better focus and perspective for me. Seeing the vastness of God's wonders and knowing that even though we can't quite see the bottom, it's still there.
I feel like canyons and mountains are a great symbolism for life. The view is breathtaking, but the creation of such magnificent canyons took thousands and thousands of years of hard work. They start out with a small stream running through them perhaps. A little spot of ground not worth mentioning. But through the years, that stream cuts through rock and sand to create something incredibly beautiful.
Life can be difficult, but when we look back at our adventures I hope that there's an incredible view. We will find that we too have deepened our understanding and our pain and our joy just as those small streams deepen those rocks into massive canyons. When I stand at the top of my own personal canyon, I expect it to be glorious beyond description!
