AT 93 - 27th June [962.6]

Single tent spot after Eckville Shelter. 


Plans changed last night, I decided to do extra miles today so I can get to The Shanty Farmhouse early tomorrow. So did 24.6 leaving 10.8 tomorrow. Three fairly steep climbs and then land mine avoiding and ballet dancing. There was thunder everywhere but I only got lightly showered!!! My phone died so I missed the turn for Eckville Shelter and walked on a mile. Once I started heading uphill I knew it was wrong. Found a camping spot and setup tent. I read the reviews for the shelter and I’m glad I’m camping!!! All my clothes are stinky since everything is damp it wet. Glad of a real bed tomorrow and a shower and washing clothes. I need to workout what my next few days plan is but I’ll wait till I feel human again. 


Thought for the day


I crossed a river the other day and two trees were on either bank. Both had their roots actually in the water. One had the water flowing under its tree trunk. I thought of this verse. 


Jeremiah 17:7-8


“Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD,

whose trust is the LORD. 

He is like a tree planted by water,

that sends out its roots by the stream,

and does not fear when heat comes,

for its leaves remain green,

and is not anxious in the year of drought,

for it does not cease to bear fruit.”


The days of heat come to us all, but where is our trust ? 

The times of drought comes to us all at some point, but where is our trust ?

Is your life fruitful, where is your trust ?

Are your leaves a bit brown and withered, where is your trust ?
