Stone Mountain is 90ft tall and 190ft wide and the day I went hiking up it, I didn't know that lol. Aug 30th 2014 was the day myself and my family went up to the top of Stone Mountain. My husband King and I was sleeping the morning my mother-in law wake us up to go to Stone Mountain. I had know idea, what we was about to get into. So seeing that we are always looking into new things, we just agreed to go. Now our mom has been up this mountain about 4, well 5 times. This was our first time going up this thing and she told us that this mountain was no punk. Now I seen people running up and down the mountain and really begain to think 'Oh I can do this.' I have never been more wrong! Rocks! Lots and lots of rocks and you have to go up them. What the hell dude? We start up this thing and about 10mintues into it, I wanted to stop! But my husband took my hand and helped me up keep pushing. I had to stop about 7 times going up. But I seen people older than me, and little kids going past me. Still pushing and making it. Now it was 3 paths. Two with out a lot of rock and the one that we had taken. I know when people read this, they may ask why didn't I just take one of the paths with out a lot of rocks? Well I started looking this mountain like life. So parts of it will be easy and other parts, will be rocky. So King and made our way up the mountain together. And the higher we got, the more I looked around me. And what I saw was great! Friend's helping one another, husband and wife holding hands pushing and making it, kids with mom and dad enjoying the day. Everyone helping everyone else. No judgement just everyone trying to get to the top. I guess 45 minutes to a hour later King and I made it to the top of Stone Mountain......
And once we did it felt so good! Looking out and being about to see the skyline of the city, made everything seem so small. All the stuff we deal with just didn't matter when your looking at God's work.
