JMT... the night before

Well... Lina just took off to bed and I am just behind her. Our bags are packed and plans are made. Tomorrow we drive up north and then on Thursday we start walking. The bigness of what we are doing is starting to settle in a little more. It is kind of like seeing that cool roller coaster and really wanting to ride it, and then actually being strapped into it with the cars clicking up the rails for that first big fall. We are locked in and heading out. There is a lot of excitement with us both right now. Every time we head out for something like this there is a real transformation that happens in us during the time. Being in the wilderness, being saturated in natural beauty for long periods of time does wonders for the soul. I think we are both looking forward to encountering God and each other in a deeper and different way. Hummmmmm.....

Please keep us in your prayers and thoughts during our time in the woods. Pray for safety... blisters, bumps, sore legs etc... but also keep our spirits in your prayers. Pray that God would meet us during this time. Pray that God would work in our lives individually as well as working in us as a young couple. I think that more so this year than in years past our goal is not just to accomplish the trek but rather to be spiritually transformed by the process of doing this trek. The walking and the miles are only a part of what our desire is for the time.

We love you all...
