Lost in the Woods

After 3 weeks of non activity I decide to go climb Pinnacle Mountain with a nice young gentleman. Unfortunately we didn’t make it to the top of the mountain, it was 7:36 and the sun was setting in the next 15min. By the time we made it off the top portion the sun had set. However there was the light from the moon, so we continue on the trail trying to recall which way did we go going up the mountain. Finally after walking and deciding which trail to take, we decide to cut the flash light app on the phone and continue on our journey. Of course time is ticking away as we are debating right left back or straight. I thought lets go back to where we saw a sign, since its officially dark that option was no longer an option.

Anyone that knows me, after having a sip of liquid my bladder has to release itself. Three hours passed I did drink some water on the mountain, I had to squat! For me to continue to stay calm I had no choice, but to ask the gentleman, "Excuse me but I have to squat." We continue on our journey, finally we see a new trail (base trail) and a mild marker 19. But we didn’t know if we should go left or right, we walked left for 15min and realize we didn’t see anything and seems like we are going back up the mountain. Then we turned around and walked 15min and then turn back around again. Finally the gentleman decides to call the park main number. Of course they were closed it was after hours, but there were 3numbers on the voice-mail. First number no answer, second number disconnected, third number was the superintendent of the park. He came in 5 mins to our rescue and 5min later we were back at the car. Never did I fret never did I panic. I was carefree, I was thinking if I have to sleep out here till daybreak I KNOW THAT MY GOD got me protected! When the park ranger was walking towards us he said keep your eye on the light!

It was meant for me to be lost in the wilderness. I am reminded my blessing is so close, dont give up just yet, it may be 5-10 mins away in Gods timing before I have it. I look at my blessing as the jump start to my dream, but who knows what God has up his sleeve. As we were debating left right left right, then go left but turn around to go right its the same as the scripture that talks about the double minded man. We didn’t get anywhere because we couldn't decide; I just wanted to make the right choice. I did ask God, but I was anxious I didn't listen to where he told me to go. I can say while being on the mountain I did get inspiration for my styling portfolio. Now off to bed with a shin split that is throbbing!
