Just a few weeks ago, I was unable to go down stairs normally. Today, seven of us met up at 5 AM to climb Spy Rock to watch the sunrise. It was not an easy hike for me, but I chose it for that reason. I wanted the hike to symbolize the trek this year has been. The parallels were perfect. The year has been challenging, and quite painful at times. However, with the support of my friends, family, and my Jesus, I have never had to do it alone, and it has been breathtakingly beautiful. It took some effort to keep from all out sobbing when I climbed up the last rock and took in the view. I can't thank Lyndsay, Sasha, Sandra, Tyler, and Jason enough to have agreed without hesitation to wake up at a ridiculous hour to hike in the dark while we talked about how bears can chew on your skull and debated if zombies climb mountains.

AuthorHi! My name is Kelly, I love Jesus, and when I was 29, I was diagnosed as Stage IV with a very rare form of ovarian cancer. Yep. That about sums it up. This is not a sad story. This is a story of freedom, grace, and unfailing love. Archives
