There and back again...

Know... Go... Grow.

We got back to Bethel around 1:00 a.m. on Sunday the 30th. It was a LONG 17 hour van ride. As we were making our way down from the mountain, we were greeted by a two hour delay as the vans couldn't make it up this one section of the ever so narrow road. After much help, we made it. The metaphor for life is that sometimes there is something so simple, so small, yet for whatever reason we cannot get ourselves over that little bump (or in this case a foot of snow and ice) in the road. That's when we need others, with their unique strengths and gifts (in this case a 4 wheel drive vehicle with snow chains and a tow rope), to help. That's how God has designed us. To live our lives in such a way so as to compliment each others gifting.

It's hard to summarize a trip of such magnitude as this. One where we (all of us, not just the students), were challenged to take a deeper look at ourselves and who God has created us to be. Then, to not just sit on that, but Go with the courage to be who we can be, understanding that it will be a lifelong process of Growth as we continue to take leaps of faith.

This picture sums it up.
