Above the tree line.

Well, the reason this is titled “Above the tree line” is because project is coming to it’s final stretch. There are only 3 weeks left, and a tree line is where the trees stop growing on a mountain due to it’s elevation, usually means it’s 3/4 to the summit!

I feel like I have accomplished a lot since I got here. Just to list a few things:

1) I’ve talked to a few people about spirituality and God, and being more intentional about that (especially with my boss)
2) I’ve gained trust and appreciation from my boss, and received a bonus.
3) I’ve lead a worship team for Vail Church
4) I’ve climbed 5 mountains so far, 3 of them were 14,000ft+, and organizing climbing trips every Weds. One of them was a night hike, and watched the sunrise on mountain top.
5) I’ve glacaded down a mountain.
6) I’ve slept in my hammock overnight outside (twice) with the bears (not literally… but just outside in the wilderness)
6.1) I’ve stacked my hammock above 3 other hammocks.
6.2) I’ve star gazed in my hammock.
7) I zip lined over a canyon (6 times)
8 ) I’ve hiked up a mountain blind folded.

That is just a glimps into what I’ve done since I’ve been here. God is alive! He’s been preparing ever since we got here in Vail, and we’re finally starting to see His plan unfold. Opportunities of engaging in spiritual conversations have been showing up. I feel sad that thinking I will be leaving this place in approximately three weeks, and that I will have to part with all my project friends and the relationships we’ve develop in the valley.
