Let’s Get Our WAG On
It was an overcast Saturday, May 31, 2014, a date I will never forget. Fear of the unknown, fear of inadequacy, fear of my abilities, fear of people I barely knew, and in the midst of my fear I realized time is up! I am at the base of Winding Stair Gap, a steep hike up a winding trail 6.2 miles up at an elevation of 1,500 ft. Fear is now in the middle of my throat. What have I done?

Cynthia (awesome driver), Teresa (fearless/crazy leader), Candi, Nancy, Brooke, Simone, Ms. Cheryll, Terri, and myself. Cat meets us there because she only lives about thirty minutes from where we are staying. Unaware God was working immediately, bonding us forever. We act like a bunch of schoolgirls, laughing, sharing, shopping, and eating the whole way up to the mountain house. Friday night we get in our pajama’s, sit around sharing our joys, burdens, and testimonies. Again the room was filled with laughter, but also tears. God once again is moving gently through the group, preparing
