1200:
 we are climbing the Andes mountains. With every turn there is a new peak, a new valley. It's a lot like life! You can see the work of the Lord's hands in His creation. The road we are traveling on is held in the mighty fortress of these mountains! Peace is around us as God holds us in the protection of this fortress, in His beauty and love. " Your hands that shaped the world are holding me, the hold me still" - JJ Heller. That is a perfect way to describe how I feel right now! Although we are surrounded by lifeless cold rocks by the world's standards, I feel the softness and love of the Almighty cradling us like a loving Father.
