Enjoying the Journey

You know how some songs just hit you at the perfect moment in life. Maybe I'm weird, but music has always been a huge part in my life. Tonight as Justin and I drove to explore our new home, this song came on the radio. The song is written around the idea of life being a journey. It was neat because Justin and I were having a conversation about not focusing on getting to the next place, but enjoying every step of the way. Taking in the moments, together. Like my sister Kathy said, no matter where you are in life, there is always going to be trials, it's just about finding the positive. This also makes me think of a verse Mrs. Donna gave us before we left when Jesus says, "but after I have been raised, I will go before you (Mark 14:28) ." This journey that we all are on called life has many mountains to climb, but take joy that the Lord is going before you and will protect and guide you. Focus on the joys and memories along the way while you're climbing. And at some point, find a quite place, and enjoy the view :)

Love, R & J

The Climb lyrics
I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreaming
But there's a voice inside my head sayin
"You'll never reach it"

Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking
But I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down
But no, I'm not breaking

I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going

And I, I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on
'Cause there's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move

Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Somebody's gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!

Keep on moving, keep climbing
Keep the faith, baby
It's all about, it's all about the climb
Keep the faith, keep your faith, whoa
