Caving is one of the wilderness activities CP offers. For training we went through a cave 5 times, leading at least once. Even having gone through the cave 4 times I did not know the cave until I led it myself. If I had continued to go through the cave looking only as far as the feet in front of me, I would have been lost if alone. It was my responsibility to learn the cave and take ownership of it. Especially since I would one day be leading others.
Caving made me ask, how much do I rely upon others for growing in my relationship with God? And, how can I take greater personal ownership in pursuing my relationship with Christ?
I have since shared the cave with my family. We could have been dangerously lost if I had not taken ownership of learning the cave during my time of training. In the same way, I am challenged to share my relationship with Christ with others.
I am thankful for this challenge to take ownership of my faith and pursue Christ. I hope that in considering the questions that confronted me while caving, you too have been challenged.
God Bless,
Jess Rupright
