Renea on Rafting

Rafting

From the moment I heard the Shackford Staff was going rafting I was so happy. This was going to be my first time doing any real “Outdoorzy” stuff. The last time I did something like that was in Girl Scotts from the 1^st to the 6^th grade. As the time got closer and closer to us going rafting I was so excited. I was screaming, jumping up and down and all that (in my skin that is) cause I was so happy. Once we got there it was a little different the fear began. But at the same time my enthusiasm and excitement over powered the fear I had. When the trip was over and we got out of the water I wanted to do the whole thing again. I actually wanted to fall out of the raft the next time. The experience I had on the rafting trip was amazing. Through rafting God showed me that if you have that drive for something with God’s help no matter what the fears or trials you come past you can still get through it, and once you then through it you might want to do something along the same lines but with just a little more challenge.
