up the hill

Today, after lunch I had a meeting up on Queen Anne so I biked from SPU up 3rd Ave West to get to the top of the hill. It's quite a steep hill at points as you probably know from heading up that way to church each week.  

I broke it into chunks and biked from one street to the next until I got to the top of the hill. 

As I was climbing this hill and seeing the task before me to make it to the top,

 I thought of you as I know you are not too excited about being a teenager.  

But, my prayer for you is that you won't tackle the whole thing all at once. Just take it bit by bit just like I made it up the hill on my bike today, and you'll make it. 

Praying for health and strength and perspective and joy to accompany you along the way...
