The Climb


Who knew you could insight to life from Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana? I did today........


Life has been hard lately. I'm sure that's the story with most of you reading this. Everyone seems to have their own struggles, ups and downs, happy times and sad times. For me, I feel like a person getting sucked under water, only to surface shortly for a quick breath and then down again. The hardest part is lately, moving into our new ward, we have been told many times that we are the "perfect" little family. I know we probably project that "image" most of the time because I'm good showcasing the best of us when we head out of the house. The ``perfect```family is so not the case with us. Well, listening to my ipod today, The Climb, by Miley Cyrus came on.....for those of you wondering, it was on there for Tatum......anyways, the lyrics to the song really struck me........


I can almost see it, that dream I'm dreaming

but a voice inside my head says, you'll never make it


Every step I'm taking, every move I'm making feels

lost with no direction, my faith is shaking


But I got to keep trying, got to keep my head held high


There's always going to be another mountain

I'm always going to want to make it move

There's always going to be an uphill battle

Sometimes I'm going to have to lose


Aint about how fast I get there,

Aint about what's waiting on the other side,

It's the Climb


Keep on moving, Keep climbing, Keep the Faith

It`s all about the Climb



I`m usually not one to quote lyrics, especially from a little teeny bopper star that my nine year old loves but it really got me thinking....what are we here for......we are here to be tested, it`s supposed to be hard, it is a constant climb. Sometimes we might be climbing up a gradual incline and enjoying the view and the other times, we might be scaling a jagged, uneven mountain side but that`s how we learn and grow, that`s exactly what `the plan` is all about.


See, Miley is right.......It`s all about the climb, the trick is to enjoy the view every once in a while.....


I`m working on that.......

I like that song. Apparently, I'm a closet Miley Cyrus fan since I have two of her albums and no tween to go with them. Haha It's true though, those lyrics hit a little close to home. I think there are a lot of us trying to work on that.

Missy it was so great to see you the other day. The kids had such a fun time together. We should do that again some time soon.

And hey, If it helps I just fell down a small mountain at frank slide (lol)...So hey...at least your still climbing! ;) hugs.

I just checked out your blog from Mandi because I was intrigued with why someone would post something about Hannah/Miley? Apparently, I needed to read your insight!

Just know you have a fellow traveler struggling beside you! (However, I feel like I'm traveling with blistered feet most of the time!)

I love the lyrics too. Thanks for the reminder!

So glad I get to join the rest of my siblings that know you! I'm really glad you are in our ward!
