Peaceful Evening

I’m sitting out near my tent thinking about what nights like this will be like during my thru-hike along the Appalachian Trail. In a few short weeks, I will be able to find out and I am really looking forward to that. 

Of course, this 8-month journey doesn’t come without challenges. I am not looking forward to being away from my husband. I’m going to miss him on my journey but am excited for him to visit me along the way! I know God is going to do amazing things for us during these times, allowing us to grow even closer! (if that is possible!) 

I’m not looking forward to missing my children, my grandchildren and my church family. Typically on a Wednesday night, I am heading out to church and I will be thinking of you all each Wednesday night on my journey. 

I’m going to miss all the people that encourage me on my walk. 

I am excited for the quiet nights, in the middle of nature… where it be exceptionally peaceful. 

I want to thank everyone for their well wishes and encouragement so far. They mean the world while I prepare myself for the Appalachian Trail.
