Answering the question why....

In the last few weeks I have had to answer the question "why" a lot... why are you hiking mostly. I am never sure what to say... I am hiking because it's something I've always wanted to do. I'm hiking because it's peaceful and challenging at the same time. I'm hiking because it seemed like a good ide at the time. I'm hiking because... it's what I'm in the mood to do...Some days are HARD... some days are easier... since we left the Smokies and cold weather, most days are HOT! The scenery is AMAZING and crazy beautiful I hike because... I can and its there... why not?

It also makes me think about why I am working for the church. Why do I do what I do?

Because... thats the simple answer... because I feel called to it. Because its the job God has given me to do. Some days its hard and I am tired... and some days its fun and crazy... but I love all those times... its learning to live the balance I am striving for. If you ask me "why" these days I willl tell you simply... I do it because its the only thing I can find peace and happiness doing... as crazy as things get, it's where I am called to be.... and there is peace in finding your place.

I am blessed.
