I had no plans at all in going to Mt. Murud July this year. Early this year, Aunty Judith asked me whether I can make it for the trip. My boyfriend, Eric also ‘strongly’ encouraged me to go as he wanted to go badly. Finally I consented to go after much consideration. We were the last few to book our air tickets. Looking back, I’m delighted that I went.
Before I departed on the trip, many people who had gone before gave us lots of handy advices. And we also had a few briefings before the trip to finalize the schedule and things to bring as well as pray for our trip. One of the things which we were asked to bring is football socks which we can pull up to our knees to cover our pants from mud. So we went and bought 5 pairs of football socks. I actually washed the socks too.

Why do I need to come to Mt Murud to meet God? Why took such a challenging journey for what, for whom? What are the reason not to climb the summit? What do I put myself up to? Why did I put myself through this? Why am I cried uncontrollably? Why am I coming back again and again? Why? Why? Why?
The challenging journey stretched and caused us to come to the pit of our own ability & self-reliance. Praying and crying out to God become our normal conversation. God is no longer distant but close at heart. We began to acknowledge our need and dependence on Him. Then we began to hear Him speaking into our conditions and minister to us at what we bring to Him.

Travelling in the jungle and climbing up and down the hill is not something new for me. Furthermore I climbed to the top of Mt. Kinabalu before. Finally, by God's grace this time I was able to climb Mt. Murud. I started my climbing from Lepo Bunga with confidence and expectation. I began the journey with a little pride in my heart because I had a lot experience living and travelling in the jungle in the past. In the beginning the path is very dry, but when I climbed higher the path became muddy. I asked myself, 'How come the mud is so thick in the high mountain?' This I never experience before. God reminded me of my pride a while ago. I quickly confessed my sin (of pride) to God and humbly surrender myself to God and decided to give encouragement to my team members so that we can reach our destination together. God gave me extra energy to help my teammates.
