Mountains inspire

Winston Churchill once remarked that "Mountains inspire leaders, but valleys mature them."

I like this sentiment a lot. When I look at physical mountains I am inspired by them - part of me wants to climb to the top and explore everything about them. Valleys - not so much. They seem harder and are often in the shade, yet these are the times that we learn more about ourselves and others.

So, if you were looking at your life today, what 'MOUNTAINS' are inspiring you at the moment and what 'VALLEYS' are teaching you (maturing you)?

Deuteronomy 11:11 - "But the land you are crossing the Jordan to take possession of is a land of mountains and valleys that drinks rain from heaven."
