Snowboarding with God
Originally appeared on spirituality.com
My favorite sport is snowboarding. I love to push the limits, learn new tricks, and overcome challenges.
A few years ago, I was a member of a competitive snowboarding team. My coach was helping a lot of my teammates do a new trick on what is called a “C Box”—it’s a narrow, raised platform that curves like the letter C. It has sharp edges and to master the trick requires impeccable balance.
When I saw how difficult it would be, I felt very afraid. I pictured myself falling and getting hurt. Filled with fear, I sat and watched the others try it.
