I have walked that long road to freedom. I have tried not to falter; I have made missteps along the way. But I have discovered the secret that after climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb. I have taken a moment here to rest, to steal a view of the glorious vista that surrounds me, to look back on the distance I have come. But I can only rest for a moment, for with freedom comes responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk is not ended. ~ Nelson Mandela
As I was reading this excerpt from Nelson Mandela's book, I am reminded this morning of a few prayers I once wrote as I was going through a season of tough times... I’d like to call it my Mountain prayers. Looking back I can appreciate the fact that we all have mountains to climb. It’s almost as if we all take turn on the Master Potter’s wheel…
