Croagh Padraig

July 19th, 2010 sarah

We went up Croagh Padraig yesterday with a group of friends. It was tough (very steep and rocky) but we all made it and it was really enjoyable. The weather was great, no rain, just a nice cooling breeze. It was good symmetry, to finish off our time here with a hike up a to a peak of some kind… I remember walking up Snowdon in Wales, the first time I’d ever hiked up a mountain, and thinking “I’ll never make it”. But then I did, and that was an amazing feeling. Over the last three years, there have been various points were we thought we wouldn’t make it, but God gave us strength to keep going. As we walked up Croagh Padraig, I thought once or twice I wouldn’t make it, but then I remembered that I had made it up Snowdon, and had made it through three years, not just surviving but thriving, and knew that I could keep going.
