Gothic Line Part Two -- Day 3



Day3 Monti d'Anima - Mountain of the Soul

Due the fact that there is still snow on many of the mountains over 1000 mt., we decided after our adventure a few days ago on Mt. Altissima to skip 11 mountains in the Apennines.  This little mountain at only 897 mt. was not hard to find nor difficult to climb and was completely snow less and seemed it was long forgotten and overgrown, although after the winter everything looks this way.  This day the lord gave the scripture Joshua 4:9 where Joshua set up the twelve stones that had been in the middle of the Jordan at the spot where the priest who carried the Ark of the Covenant had stood.   One of the things that is so fun about this prayer adventure is that we have to always as the local people, how to get to these places.  Always amazed at how well everyone knows their surroundings even up in the mountains.  



 This was just a steep road up to a closed Bed & Breakfast, park the car and walk up a private road.  We came to a house out in the middle of this mountain that conveniently had Mt. Anima written on it, so we knew we were here.  Directly in front of this house was a steep climb of about 200 mt. more and across the crest.   




House in the middle of nowhere.

This one wasn’t too horribly dangerous once on top.  There were a little signs of war, some fox holes, but really not much to see except an excellent lookout point.  We gathered 11 stones of marble and then I (Joyce) had grabbed some smooth marble stones from the beach in Massa so I took one out of my backpack and wrote some scriptures and stuff on it and added it to the pile along with us carrying the glory of the lord we took possession of the mount and released His glory in the land... 


 What we noticed on this climb was that there were all these beautiful flowers everywhere, God had decorated the paths with all of these wonderful flowers and only if you pass by will you see them.  We were spoiled that day with His beauty.   This was a light prayer day in comparison with our K2 Mt. Altissima experience.
