three cups of tea

It was good and restorative to have time away at the cabin. God used that peaceful respite to encourage me. He spoke to me in many ways, one of the most powerful being through a book called Three Cups of Tea. The story astounded, inspired, and bolstered me.

It is the story of Greg Mortenson, a climber who fails to summit K2 in the Karkoram mountains of Pakistan, but succeeds in walking straight in to a life work more rewarding and adventurous than any climb.

I am reminded that mountains can move when individuals take their eyes off of their own goals and fall into step with where God leads them.

Read this book.

May we all watch where we are walking... our ears tuned to His voice at each step.

There is a candle in your heart, ready to be kindled.
There is a void in your soul, ready to be filled.
You feel it, don't you?

--Rumi
