03/07/2009 It IS about what's waiting on the other side.........I have listened to my share of Radio Disney.......in fact I know the words to many of the songs......which is good and bad. I do want to know what Meredith is listening to however, sometimes I cannot get those songs out of my head.
 I have been thinking about one particular song by Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montanna, "The Climb." It is actually a good song, but I have some different thoughts about it than Miss Cyrus. Here are the lyrics to the chorus:Always gonna be another mountain. I'm always gonna want to try to make it move.
Always gonna be an uphill battle. Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose.
Ain't about how fast I get there. Ain't about what's waiting on the other side.
It's the Climb.
Life is a climb.....we are surrounded by mountains, some big, some small, some that are new others that we climb daily. Some provide beautiful scenery and a peaceful place to pitch our tents to take a rest. Some a not so grand scenery with many "rocks" or "cliffs" that we must manuever. However, sometimes we do not even realize we are crossing these mountains except when we feel weak. It is on these mountains where friends and family can help us with encouragement and even a hand to hold, but ultimately it is only God who can get us to the top. "I will lift my eyes to the hills-from whence comes my help? My help comes from the LORD, maker of Heaven and earth."Psalm 121:1-2
So I beg to differ with Miss Cyrus as she states "Ain't about what's on the other side," for me it's ALL about what/or who is on the other side. Yes, life is a climb, it is during our journey that we learn many lessons, when we grow and transform into the person that God wants us to be. But it's knowing what awaits me on "the other side" that gives me HOPE to complete my journey. I have a "room" prepared just for me, by my Lord, Jesus Christ, where I will pitch my tent and rest eternally with Him........hopefully right next to Mitch's room......
Go and climb those moutains, but remember it's not all about the climb, but about what IS waiting for you when you finish!
Happy 4th of July!
