Every bone and muscle of my body is aching!

I'm the only person out of our team that haven't had a long hike before and yesterday we had to climb up and come back down from Mount Sinai, where Moses received the ten commandments. It was quite tough for me to climb up, but I insisted not to go on the camel for half of the way. I wanted to experience what Moses felt and I wanted to train up my perseverance. I also knew that I might not go there again, so this could be my only chance to do that.

From this hiking experience, it was like a miniature experience of what I faced in the past year. I started all being excited, then I start to find it hard, but felt I had the wheel power to carry on. There was a stage that I became worried as I knew there was still far for me to walk, but I prayed that I would have strength. Finally, as I was so exhausted, I knew it wasn't my strength that can pull myself through. I knew my strength was from above and the brothers and sisters whom were with me.

Although I had the worst sleep I ever had in my life, the hardest walk I had in my life, but it was all worth it. I was glad that I've done it, just like my past year with my job.
