This part of Washington has a ton of bunny rabbits running
around.
Look out the window - rabbit
Driving down the road - rabbit
Walking up the hill - rabbit
Seeing all these bunnies reminded me of a road trip from my teenage years.
It was late at night and we were the only car on the highway.
Our headlights showed the display of wild rabbits ahead.
There seemed to be two kinds of rabbits.
One who would bolt form one side of the road to the other.
Unwavering speed and making it safely across.
The other sadly would start out strong only to turn half way across the road.
Thus not escaping before our car reached its path.
Thud.
This went on for what seemed like hours.
One day after we reached the camp we decided to fish further up the mountain.
To get to this spot their was a steep rocky road we had to drive up.
As we started up the rocks began to move under our wheels.
Their was again only two options.
Let up and not make it to the top.
Or keep the foot on the gas have unwavering determination despite
all the falling rocks.
Both of these experiences were etched into my brain.
I cried for the lost bunnies
And I pleaded for my own safety on that rocky hill.
Through this I learned not to let up or give up.
When we keep our vision centered on Christ no oncoming traffic or
falling rocks can capture us. Decide now before you even cross the
road that you will make it to the other side. Decide now not to let up
on the gas fueling your faith in Christ. Faith in our Savior is what
leads us to safety and protects us from being just another "thud" on
this road called life.
Alma 26:27

" Now when our hearts were depressed, and we were about to turn back, behold, the Lord comforted us, and said: Go amongst thy brethren, the Lamanites, and bear with patience thine afflictions, and I will give unto you success."
