Conquering my mountain




This is the day when myself and a group that i belong to called "Influence of Significance" went on a hike on Tablemountain. We started at about 8am up "Platteklip Gauge", About 1/4 way up a took a wrong turn and ended up on "Devils Peak" go figure! The guys waited on me untill i returned and was reunited with the group. Once again we proceeded up the Mountain, by this time i was already exhuasted and the guys slowly started to space me more and more! By this time i even started praying to Jesus to give me strength, and He did. On my way up i met many different people of other continents even. After about 2 and 1/2 hours i reached the top and "jor" was i glad and proud of myself as well of the other guys! On the mountain we took some photos and proceeded to move down into "Echo Valley" which took another 2-3 hours, not sure. We then went down the famous "Skeleton Gauge" Which took a another 2 hours. When i arrived at Kirstenbosch Gardens my legs were shivering but i made it. Thanks to God who give me strength and the encouragement of my brothers and know and can now conquer any mountain!
