Take That Fear of Heights!

I don't know if I've mentioned my fear of heights on here, but it's bad. I don't ever plan on going to the top of the Space Needle or the Sears Tower. And drives through the mountains with steep cliffs and that itty-bitty guard rail make me physically cringe.

But I took another step toward ignoring and conquering that fear! Last night, with a bunch of youth from my church, I went rappelling. And not just a short rappell. No, this was down a 100 foot cliff face.

Was it scary? Yes, especially at the beginning when you have to climb over the cliff ledge. But I didn't look down at all. And when I got to the bottom, my hands trembling from gripping the rope so tight, it was the coolest, adrenline-rush feeling to know I DID IT.

What have you done to conquer your fears lately? Have you ever been rappelling?
