Making It To Trail's End

Thursday, my husband and I went to the Valley of Fire in Nevada. Though I couldn't keep up with the other hikers, or make it to the end of the trail, it didn't matter. I am grateful that I can get out and walk a trail, and that I can experience the beauty all around me.

After a year of treatments for stage 3 ovarian cancer, I am grateful simply to be alive and that the cancer is gone for now. I have experienced so many miracles this last year and feel very loved. Though I don't know how much longer I will be here, I know my Savior will help me to have the strength to face whatever I will need to and that He is helping me be happier and more at peace than I ever have before. 

 

 While I sat savoring the fantastic red rocks and blue sky as I waited for my husband to return from the trail's end, I pointed out the safer path and smiled encouragement at those continuing down the trail. Somehow it seemed fitting at this moment in my life. I feel so grateful for my Savior who has not only enabled me to continue living right now, but, through His love for us, has  given us all the opportunity to learn and grow here on this earth and to live forever continuing on a trail which will never end.
