god is good.

Can you hear the sound of melodies Oh, the sound of melodies Rising up to You Rising up to You God, The sound of melodies Oh, the sound of melodies Rising up to You Rising up to You God.

God is good. God is amazing. On Saturday a group of us from youth went to Kananaskis to hike in Ribbon Creek, our goal, to hopefully make it to the falls. I've got to be honest, im not the biggest hiker, i love nature, and beauty, and the end result, but sometimes getting there is alittle to hard for me, or so i thought.
So we began to hike, on what we thought would be fairly flat 4 km to the falls, on a nice day, not too hot not too cold, with people searching for the same thing. To witness Gods beauty, to accomplish something, to spend time in prayer, to make it to the top.
We hit 5 km, and our friend told us that it was about 4 km to the falls ( aka. not 4km, 9km there, 9km back. ) By 5 km it was flat almost the whole way, but these last 4 would be a killer.
It was uphill for the most part, roots everywhere, and i was tired. let me rephrase that. i was exhausted. I knew the end result would be amazing, but i wanted to give up. I spent alot of time in reflection, in prayer, talking to God, thanking him for the experience, praying for strength. By about 1 km left, i felt emotionally and physically exhausted. I was ready to cry, to wait there, till the rest of the group got back from the falls, but i kept going, i prayed and prayed, and i made it.
I Got to the top with original frusteration, i was greeted with the beauty. The falls were beautiful, and everything we experienced on the way to the falls ,was beautiful. The quietness, the prayer, the silence with only the sound footsteps ringing in our ears.
I have never experienced that kind of Beauty before in my life. i have never hiked 18 km in 6 hours before either. But it was worth it, and God met me there, he gave me strength, he watched over me, and he showed me something not alot of people get to witness.
God is good.
God is soo good.
