Got up early and hiked in the cold. We ate lunch at the Greenwall shelter. It got really cold, was brutal for us. We hiked on a closed section of the AT that was hit by hurricane Irene. Hiked up to Killington peak to a cabin with Flash. It was FREEZING, low 30s for sure. Flash said it was cold so I knew for sure it was. Was glad I had my sleeping bag and liner to keep me warm. Saw 2 skunks on my way up the mountain in the dark. Talked to some sobos in the cabin. Ate a buffalo meat meal with some tortillas and went to bed. Meeting dad tomorrow.

Jesus has truly overcome the world the day he gave His life for all on the cross. Take peace and be encouraged knowing it is Him who is mighty to save. He will not leave you or forsake you.

ReplyDelete2 Corinthians 4:16-18 "So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal."
