If you have trust issues, go rock climbing.

I discovered this for myself last month when I took a trip with First Descents, an organization that provides free adventures for cancer survivors. My adventure was set in Estes Park Colorado, a beautiful place just 40 or so minutes outside of Boulder.

I’d chose this trip because I have always wanted to spend some extended time in Colorado and I’ve done a bit of climbing before. I had no idea of the physical and emotional beauty that I would experience while on this trip. Not only are Estes Park and Colorado amazingly beautiful with grand mountains and clear skies (God’s handiwork clearly on display), I also forged some amazing friendships during my short stay in Estes Park, relationships that I am sure will last a lifetime.

I also got a chance to crush some awesome mountains and build trust.

Climbing is all about trust. You have to trust that your equipment works and will hold you. You have to trust that the person who is belaying you has good control of the rope in case you lose your grip and fall, which happens. You also have to trust yourself. You have to trust your footing and that your body has the strength to keep you on the wall so you can reach the top of the mountain. When all these things are in place, and you’re able to trust, you can have a beautiful and exciting climbing experience.

I feel the same about our Christian walk. Trust is key to a beautiful relationship with God. When we trust our maker, we’re able to enjoy the life He has planned out for us.

“Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans.” Proverbs 16:3
