o Rule of thirds?
o Depth of field…what?
o Shutter speed/aperture…is there a difference?
o ISO…foreign language?

Stable or Trail….you choose!
I was ready for the experience of a lifetime. The plan was perfect (or so I thought) horseback riding through lower Yosemite Valley. According the brochure this experience would be amazing, picturesque, and all together splendid. Obviously the trail guides had not reviewed the brochure, reality was very different...ever been there?
Five minutes into the adventure I was ready for full refund and a quick return to the stable. Instead I decide to push on and TRY to overcome my fear, release the death grip I had on the reigns, and learn from those who seemed to be doing it well (at least it looked that way). I will say by the second hour things improved. I was glad I got to experience the beauty of Yosemite in such a unique way; although, in case you’re wondering I wouldn’t recommend the 2 hour ride for beginners.
In the end I was reminded that great experiences come with great risk. You can’t start the trail if you never leave the stable. So as we begin this journey together I hope this year is filled with joy, adventure, risk, and growth. I hope we all look back and see stable behind us and the trial in front of us…pursue the adventure.
3 takeaways
The brochure is a lie
o Nothing looks the pictures…don’t be fooled there is always a back story.
Letting go helps you hold on
o Let go of control and hold tight to He who controls it all.
Falling down is part of growing up
o God calls us out of the safe zone and into the unknown….that is the life of faith.
…the life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Galatians 2:20
