Can I tell you something hiking in Ontario, Canada is totally different than hiking in Kenya. When we were invited to go on a hike I was thinking a good walk through a forest or a valley. They never said it was massive seven hills that are more likely seven mountains called the Ngong Hills. Lets just say I wasn’t very impressed. The view was beautiful but my legs weren’t happy. The whole time I was saying that the end of this trip I better lose 20lbs, which was amusing the youth of the church.
While on top of the 5th hill my teammate was saying that these hills reminded her of her favorite movie and immediately I started to burst out in song, “the hills are alive with the sound of music.� That was one of the funniest moments of the day.
I learned a lot from hiking the Ngong Hills. I learned no matter the situation, no matter how hard and trial some something may be, God can give you the perseverance to keep going. I honestly kept saying over and over again, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.� And it’s the truth I can climb the highest mountain, I can swim the deepest seas just because Jesus loves me and in Him I can do all things.
