"A view just gives us a glimpse of our next destination—our next target. But to hit that target, we must come off the mountain, go through the valley, and begin to climb the next slope. It is in the valley that we slog through the lush grass and rich soil, learning and becoming what enables us to summit life’s next peak."

- The Noticer


This quote was very inspiring to me. Sometimes I think about how nice it would be to just sit at the mountain top closer to God all the time. But in reality, is God on the mountain tops, or is He there, sloging through the lush grass and rich soil with us? I think He's just with us all the time, up and down all of our mountains in life. Whew...I'm pretty sure all that mountain climbing would WEAR ME OUT if I didn't have such a good climbing partner!
