Children's Pull
I don't know who took this picture but it occurred during the "children's pull" on trek. I was absolutely overwhelmed as I watched my children push and pull those handcarts up that steep hill all by themselves. I watched them and wept. I cried because they were working so hard and I couldn't help, I cried because they didn't ask for help and wanted to prove they could do it, I cried because I suddenly saw how incredibly tough and determined and strong my children are. I have not looked at them the same since that day. I applaud their stubborness and determination and I feel complete confidence in their ability to move forth in strength and stand as faithful witnesses of the Lord in the coming days. It was a special moment!
