Today was Mark's last mountain to climb, the Kancamagus Pass. The elevation reached 2,855 feet and he made it up easily. He did get one flat tire, but that only set him back about 10 minutes. He was on top of the world when he reached the top and had proven to himself that he could do it. The Appalachians have nothing on him! He was one of many bikers attempting the climb today. Men and women of all ages were handling it, which I think served to spur Mark on.
We said goodbye to New Hampshire as we crossed into Maine, our final state in this journey. We're camping tonight somewhere close to Wiscasset. We're very excited because at 7:00 the owners of the campground give everyone free ice cream!
We want to give a special "thank you" to Gracepoint Church for your kind generosity. This family of people took the bill for the tires that we had to unexpectedly buy for our car when we were in Michigan. You've blessed our hearts with this sweet act of love and we thank the Lord for you! Bless you, Gracepoint!!

Mark,my son-in-law, your determination to reach the tops of mountains never ceases to amaze me. God has placed in you a will to be an overcomer in all you do. I pray that all dreams given to you by God will come to pass and that He is glorified.
ReplyDeleteSarah, you are also very determined in all you do. Ever since you were a tiny little girl, you've had a determination like no other. God has His Hand on your life, and you welcome Him into a personal relationship each day. You also are an overcomer, and I pray that you will always glorify God.
"Sing to the LORD, for He has done glorious things; let this be known to all the world." (Isaiah 12:5)
