JOY IN THE JOURNEY
I remember when I was just a young girl my Dad had us hike one of the
highest peaks in the United States. It was on that long hike I learned
so much about myself, and so much about my own fathers success. We had
been warned by my father to wear for proper shoes, I couldn't find
them and I didn't want to be left behind so I quickly grabbed my black
shiny church shoes, with no socks on, you got it straight a true
recipe for a big watery blisters. We headed up the trail, about a
fourth of the way my father made us stop. by
then my feet had begun to bleed. I was never so relieved. It was then that my Dad looked down
and said "sweetie I am not going to carry you, you have two choices, to go back down alone, or take of your shoes off and
hike the rest of the distance with out them". My brothers always in a big hurry,
filling like they were in some kind of race to the top of there manhood. Got up
and began to nag us all to get going. My Dad shouted out and said "hey slow
down you may not think you have got to rest, but you have to adjust".
down you may not think you have got to rest, but you have to adjust".
Boys that they are said "ah come on Dad lets go" of
course I just simply didn't want to move at all, RaNelle get up if you
rest to long your body will began to shut down and you wont have the
strenght to draw on, either way there is a delicate balance". We watched
as other groups of young kids race by us, we felt so frustrated as we
moved so slowly, watching them sneer with a boast at the fact that they were
gaining advancement on us. We all seemed to have this need to make the
ascent with speed and perfection except for my Father, he seemed quiet
and focused. As we neared the top my feet now hurt with every step not
only by the blisters, but by the needles from the pine trees that had
pierced my foot. I could see that the top was covered with snow and
the last mile would have to be a barefoot, the whole time I had
complained with real misery and true whining at its best. My dad again
asked us to stop I was now exhausted and wanted to simply give up, I
saw a few of the groups ahead and noticed that they had been the ones
that pasted us up earlier but stopped at the point of the snow, it was there too
that they no longer had the strength to carry on, they had not taken
the time to reserve the energy needed to allow there bodies to adjust
and when they had finally taken a short rest they remained stopped for
way to long, you could see there expressions of total defeat. As we
passed my Father then said "you know its in your attitude is were the
key to success lies, knowing how to balance out the hike upward, and
most of all the largest reason for this hike was so that you could
learn the JOY in the journey. Making the last little bit had to come
from me, the determination had now filled my heart, my soul seemed to
want to rise to the occasion. In the last yard I no longer felt pain
nor the cold bitter snow, I saw the goal in sight. There at the top of
the world I entered my name on the list of those who had made the peak
of Mount Whitney. I don't even remember the hike down. What I do now
know is that in our journey to be perfect and work hard to get to the
top we forget that its in the journey. If we have worn ourselves down,
emotional burned out, pushed by others to beat them, then we find that
course I just simply didn't want to move at all, RaNelle get up if you
rest to long your body will began to shut down and you wont have the
strenght to draw on, either way there is a delicate balance". We watched

top we forget that its in the journey. If we have worn ourselves down,
emotional burned out, pushed by others to beat them, then we find that
we are out harmony of heavenly assistants, we have not learned the lessons
the Savior has taught that man MIGHT have JOY perfection is not the goal,
standing tall and filled with that wonderful feeling of freedom and achievement
at the top is the ultimate high.

BOOK FESTIVAL WOW
What a wonderful day, we got there and got a little lost trying to find the building. A little bit of the blonde thing going on there, well don't tell anyone but a lot of it is gray now, but we made it. Thank goodness Lyamn got to the room first, he gave a wonderful introduction. The room was packed and they had to bring in more chairs. The spirit was sweet, that is the only way I can say it. Those who attended were such amazing souls. I enjoyed getting to know each one of those who attended, everyone had such incredible stories and lives to share. My hopes are that they will post them here. Tears by all were shed, and love poured out. What great love I have for all to whom I was able to speak to. Thank you for your precious hugs, you have no idea how much they mean to me. Thank you for coming look forward to seeing you again. After a wonderful lunch with friends, we had a chance to visit some local Native American Sites, bumpy roads, and wonderful conversation with my Ute brother who shared wonderful stories with us. My goals are still steady in doing all I can to preserve these ancient sites.

DRAMA
I got several calls and text last night out of no where, with no promting. "RaNelle what ever happens don't spiral emotionally, and dont get distracted by some one elses DRAMA stay the course". Interesting they had no idea of what I am going through, or do they know the other that also sent me a message. Actually I am at great peace but they know the spirit and sense a storm. I listened with the spirit and trust them.
Its seems as though we all have in some form a act playing out in our lives somewhere. It cant be avoided its a part of the human experience. It is this very nature that the first writings were done, in hopes to explain the stories we all play out.
I cant help but realize this fact every time I go to Barnes and Nobles I look across the store, an estimated thirty thousand books are published every month. That does not include private distribution, you can triple that number. It is in our attempts to record the journeys that lead us through some of the most interesting tells that cover every area of emotions and interest. You would think with all of the many years and history we would have every answer to solve lifes mysteries and world peace.
My gosh! I remember the first book I read in school, I still have it.
See Jane, see Jane go, these where the first words I read. It is hard for me to express the importance that books have played in our lives and how quickly we forget.
Now as the world is winding up some of the most dramatic scenes ever inacted, we need to know that there are solutions, with the knowledge that is out there and most importantly from above.
We can know that as we travel and move along it is vital that during the day we need to stop and contemplate on where we are on our road map, many have traveled similar paths, maybe we need to look at another map. Is it important for us to pick up our pace, or slow down.
We most reflect on where we are going, what needs to be handled and how to direct our life. The world now more then ever before is being hit with so much DRAMA!!! and it is for us to remain on the course we were brought here to do. The compass lies deep within our souls the messages so soft and gentle that it takes silencing all the world and its trappings to prepare for the next steps.
We could stop and look at the view, breath deeply, silence our soul in prayer and direction from the one who stands on top as he echoes in our ears, and march forward with greater resolve to become stronger.
Remember you never know how many people are watching and observing your journey the top or those who are taking the hike with you.Or do you care way to much about what other think about it. Are there stragglers and is it your job to assist, are you suppose to lead, lend a hand, carry the load, receive instruction to deliver to another.
Examine where you have been, what you have learned, the pot holes you fell in and are you still falling in them. Have you wondered in a circle? Has the rain and the sunshine, the loss of those along the way. The tired and weary body that carried you this far, and how did you find your strength? What was important and are you living by your word, are you doing the path or did you get distracted and got off the trail and became lost and alone. Are you standing with a group of others in a mud puddle, and mud being flung at you but you cant get out until you have had the last fling, and how to get them. Is your life in bondage and in chains because it was easier to follow someone else who thinks they know whats best for you. That cant make it with out there leash around your neck. After all if you get lost its not your fault, they lead you right? Or have you cried over your journey and simply want to stop, Did you look up and see the top, and rejuvenate your hope for the Ascension. Have you just given up and followed the single rank line, looking down on the back feet and just taking each step the same way as the last at least after all the I cant get lost they seem to know the way, just follow. Have you done what your parents have always done? Did you laugh, sing enjoy the company, or complain about the hardship.
WHERE ARE YOU IN YOUR DRAMA??? when the strongest storm ever known to our history of time is about to get worse.....

Miracles in Arizona
I had the most amazing pray answered!!!!
I have have the worst infection that has been sitting in my jaw and face for over four years. Due to the fact that I had no money to tend to my needs, I have even had to battle swelling on my brain.
I came here to do a talk for a show called The Beauty Show, to let women know that the glow and true beauty comes from within. Two women that work for Bruce Swartz DDS felt impressed to ask if I needed any work, once asked I wept openly. I keep saying over and over, is this real? How many tears have fallen on my pillow at night. The dentist who worked on me last broke my jaw.
I had stood in line with twenty other illegal immigrants praying that they would take me. As I sat there my heart sunk as the last name was called, then suddenly a change was made the volunteer looked over at me and waved for me to come, a last chance at some kind of care. The women next to me said I am so happy, you deserve it. I don't, I killed my boy friend several months ago, God is punishing me. Here was a woman whose tears flowed in her confusion, I could see she had only two teeth left, the others lost from the blows she toke to her face. I asked why would you tell me, because I see the light of God in your eyes. Just pray for me and tell God to forgive me. Her boyfriend had beat on her so much that finally she broke, know one will ever know I am sure the gators finished him. My sadness filled my heart as she walked out the door, the dentist offered prayer with me and with one pull moved twisted the tool the wrong direction and snap went my jaw.
So much pain in many ways, NOW here I am with an ANGEL, Thank you for listening Bruce to the still small voice, now I have a chance to fight my cancer and heal....
