You just got to, because it's fun!

Sometimes there are no words. I just saw my friend Erika who I haven't seen since Christmas. She is a dancer from New York who is staying in MN for a few months. She is one of those soul mates you can go months with out seeing, but you pick up right where you left off. You can just sit and be still in the silence and there is a peace that requires no words.

As the day progressed we decided to go by the river and be still. After a few hours I was craving adventure. With my feet bare, and my heart open I began descending the cliff we were sitting on. I was going this way and that way being all crazy and hanging from different roots, and branches when all of a sudden this man jumps out in front of me. It caught me off guard because I was so focused on what I was doing I screamed. Then he screamed and apologized for scaring me. He was being a hard core rock climber. I looked at him and asked him aren't you scared to climb with out a rope, and he simply said, "You got to, because it's fun."

That really hit me between they eyes. You know when someone says something and the coin drops in the slot. When you are on adventures with God, and fully trusting him with no back up it is just simply more fun. And you know what they say, girls really do just want to have fun. :)
