Did I tell you all...I'm going on a 6 day backpack trip through the San Juan Mountains in Colorado with a bunch of women I haven't met?
Yeah, well I am...
AND
I'm trying to prepare.
If you can really prepare for such a thing.
Apparently you can't wear anything that is cotton...
That's my whole wardrobe.
AND
if I wipe myself I have to pack it out.
I need to break in my boots.
Did I mention..
I'm pretty much a flip flop girl.
Hiking boots. For 6 days.
My feet are gasping for air as I type this.
In case I haven't told you....
I'm not in the best shape.
My backpack will weigh 1/3 of me.
No kids.
No internet.
No phones.
No bed.
Only the great outdoors.
12 strangers.
37 miles.
and
GOD.
I'm preparing to meet my Creator.
In a very real way.
Without distractions.
In HIS creation.
COOL!

Have I told you how much you amaze me?! You are THE woman! Praying for broken in boots, beautiful weather, hearts knit together in ways you never imagined, and a deeper level of intimacy with the Creator in His creation.

Stephanie, that sounds awesome! Have a wonderful time -can't wait to read about it!
GIRL...you are going to have the experience of a life time. I can tell God is going to pull you out of your comfort zone and bless you in a mighty way. It is going to have some growing pains, but it will be good.
Be safe.
Sounds really exciting!
So cool! I read this post and then e-mailed one of my best friends, Alicia, and asked her if you were going on the same hike as her, and she said yes! I had no idea she had met you before.
You're staying at my house on Friday evening but I don't get the pleasure of meeting you as I'll be in Iowa at my high school reunion.
Have a great hike! Be sure and blog about it! :)
