On March twenty second , me and my brother Jack went with our grandparents to go skiing on Monarch Mountain.
Ashlyn at Snobahn
On Tuesday that week we had gone to Denver, CO to practice skiing at a indoor place called Snobahn. There we learned how to turn and balance our selves on a moving carpet. There was a few big differences from real skiing and carpet skiing. One, carpet skiing was easier to turn on. Two, real skiing was easier to balance on. And three, real skiing was harder to stop.
When we were up on the mountain I was a little worried about going on the lifts. Luckily I had a nice instructor named Jen who held my hand and encouraged me to not worry. But what I think really helped me was a verse I memorized:
Psalm 56: 3 “When I am afraid I put my trust in you”
It definitely helped me when I was afraid. So I encourage you to use Psalm 56: 3 when you’re afraid.
