"Climb Every Mountain"

This past week at Frontier Bound, Kitty Ernst played a slideshow for us. It contained pictures of the school's history accompanied by instrumental versions of some well-known songs.

One of the songs was "Climb Every Mountain" from The Sound of Music. Immediately when the song switched from the previous one to "Climb Every Mountain," I felt moved to tears.

Interestingly, I watched The Sound of Music a few weeks or so before I came to Frontier Bound. It had been a long time since I had watched this musical in its entirety. When Mother Abbess sang that song, I just felt so inspired and driven to reach my goals. I even posted a part of the lyrics on the header to one of my main blogs - "Follow every rainbow, till you find your dream."

To those of you who have a dream - pursue it, and don't give up. Sometimes it may take you a while to discover what your dream is. Life usually doesn't follow the path that you want it to take (at least, not for me). But every part of my life has shaped me into who I am now and has allowed me to have a passion to live life abundantly. For me, living an abundant life means acting on those desires God has placed on my heart and making a difference.

So, go climb those mountains and find your dream - and act upon it! :)

Climb Every Mountain

Climb every mountain
Search high and low
Follow every by-way
Every path you know

Climb every mountain
Ford every stream
Follow every rainbow
'Till you find your dream

A dream that will need
All the love you can give
Everyday of your life
For as long as you live

Climb every mountain
Ford every stream
Follow every rainbow
'Till you find your dream
