What Do You Do When the Mountain Feels Too High?

A Late Post, a Passed Test, and the Meteor Shower That Reminded Me Nothing Is Too Big for God

I’m posting this later than usual. Normally, my blog entries are written, polished, and scheduled ahead of time, ready to go like clockwork. But this week was different. I had to shift my priorities and focus on something that felt, honestly, impossible: passing a major test I’ve been preparing for.

It wasn’t just any test. It was one of those “if I don’t pass this, everything stalls” kind of moments. The kind that makes your stomach churn and your prayers deepen. I had to press pause on a lot of things I love, including writing this blog, to give it my full attention. And I’m grateful to say: I passed.

The weight that’s lifted off my shoulders is hard to describe. It’s like coming up for air after holding your breath for too long. As I enter into the weekend and plan to watch more meteors shower their streaks across the sky, I know I will feel something shift, not just in the atmosphere, but in me.

There’s something about watching meteors, (check out the videos I have attached of ones I got this week!) those blazing fragments tearing through the heavens, that reminds me of how obstacles can look insurmountable until they’re pierced by light. Scripture says:

“With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” —Matthew 19:26

I held onto that verse this week. I had to. Because when you’re staring down a mountain, it’s easy to forget that the One who made the stars also made a way through the wilderness.

The Perseid meteor shower, peaking this week, is a cosmic reminder that even in darkness, brilliance breaks through. These meteors travel millions of miles, defying gravity and burning bright. And somehow, they reach us, just like grace does.

So if you’re facing something that feels too big, too heavy, or too late, know this:

You’re not alone.
You’re not forgotten.
And you’re not without help.

I’m late posting this, yes. But I’m right on time for the lesson it carries.
Sometimes the delay is the testimony.

Keep climbing. Keep trusting. And when you can, keep looking up!
