While all the family was here we took time to go to the bridge down at the river and Uncle Jake showed all the kids that you could jump the 20 feet into the river water….holy buckets…..most of the kids did it and thought it was a thrill of a lifetime. Tyler did it with a life floatation thing, Dallin did it with no floatie (but Uncle Jason was in the water), Hunter did it, and Gwendalin stood and started and debated and debated doing it, and finally talked herself out of it. She stood and looked too long, because she would have been fine. I’m sure of it. IT was a lot of pressure on her though and she wanted to do it so bad, but just couldn’t get up the nerve to walk off of the edge.
Trish made an analogy that she shared with me later from this experience. Sometimes the Gospel is hard, and we look at the big picture and we are overwhelmed, it’s too much, we look and we look and we are feeling more and more helpless because we can’t do it all. Whereas if we just jump and go a day at a time, it’s not overwhelming, it’s one thing at a time it’s not so vast and it’s completely approachable.
ALL OF MY PICTURES ARE GONE. I HAD PHOTOS FROM THIS AND MY PHONE LOST THEM ALL. :(
