I grew up celebrating Advent, so of course I had to carry to candles down to the bottom on the Canyon to light the morning of the second Sunday of Advent. This year my candles celebrate: Hope (first Sunday), Peace (second Sunday), Faith (third Sunday), Joy (forth Sunday), and Love (Christmas Eve). Yes, I know that's not the traditional reasons for the candles, but I'm not traditional and usually modify the traditions to suit me.
This was taken before hiking the last 4.5 miles out of the Grand Canyon, most of them on packed snow and ice, which made me very thankful my roommate loaned me her crampons.
I will finish the post with the words of Rich Mullins:
I will finish the post with the words of Rich Mullins:
Well, sometimes my life
Just don't make sense at all
When the mountains look so big
And my faith just seems so small
So hold me Jesus, 'cause I'm shaking like a leaf
You have been King of my glory
Won't You be my Prince of Peace
