I am in a\u00a0rock climbing class at school, (there is an artificial wall in the gym so\u00a0we do most of our climbing inside) for one of our activities we went on a\u00a0Sunday rip to a local outdoor wall. I think its the only one for 200\u00a0miles. The climbing was much different from what I was used to. As I was\u00a0climbing, I got to a point where I had no hand holds, I couldn&#8217;t go any\u00a0higher. I started feeling around for whatever I could find. Eventually my\u00a0hand came to rest on a tiny ledge, I could only fit about half of my\u00a0finger tip on it. I thought, &#8221; Well that&#8217;s not going to work&#8221;. Then I\u00a0heard God say &#8220;Strengthen the hold and trust it&#8221;. To strengthen a hold\u00a0means to put your thumb on top of your fingers. I did, and as I put my\u00a0weight on it I found that it was one of the most stable holds I have ever\u00a0had. I didn&#8217;t even realize what happened till I got to the bottom, when I\u00a0did I thanked God for what he had done. It is amazing how much he cares.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">When I was growing up I got the impression that God takes care of the big\u00a0stuff but leaves the small things to&#8230; I don&#8217;t know, chance I guess. It\u00a0is amazing that I get to learn first hand that that isn&#8217;t true, to see how\u00a0much God loves his children. Well I just wanted to share.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">As far as school goes, it looks like I will be able to do the medieval \u00a0studies major with a classical studies minor. I might even be able to get\u00a0a double major in history, but that is secondary.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">I love you guys,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">Jack<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pastor John, I just wanted to share an experience I had a little while back.
