Consistency in spite of hills

Posted on August 13, 2009 by Amy

When I’m biking, hills suck but they help build my muscles and lung capacity, resulting in a better workout. Similarly, spiritual hills build our faith and bring us closer to God. When I up my average bike speed, or overcome a life challenge with God’s help, I feel a sense of accomplishment and gratitude to God. Continue reading →
