Hey y'all!
I apologize for how long it been since I've posted, I'm sure you can understand how life has a way of getting busy, hectic and in the way of things. In my absence from all of you, I've done a lot of thinking, about things that have happened in my life, the lives of those I care about, and just life in general. When you think about life, how do you classify it? There's many ways and I even use a few of them depending on the time in my life. Some think of life as a story books, or as I like to think of it, as a text book because you only know what you have read and you will learn what you have yet to read. Lately another way I think about life, is like a track course. For those of you that have never experienced track, its a sport in which athletes do a variety of activities. They run races, throw javelin or shot -put, and even jump hurdles. Life in a way is a lot like track, every day we are given lessons ,trials, moments that what we choose to do will affect the outcome of our lives. Just like athletes we train every day for our race called life. Sometimes we get a straight shot through and other times were given hurdles, and how we have trained and prepared ourselves will determine how we respond to the hurdles were given. What I've learned is that just because we've been given a hurdle or a road block, it doesn't mean its over. If you want something bad enough, then a hurdle is just that, a hurdle. Its not an end zone but instead its a challenge and by overcoming that challenge not only will you be stronger, but you will be better prepared and trained for hurdles In your future. Lets be honest, life Is full of hurdles and curve balls , these things can destroy us or they can make us better. Just like athletes were in a race of life but not against another schools team, its a race against ourselves and if you run the race striving to be the best athlete you can be, then you will have won. Something that comforts me when I'm panicking about a new hurdle in life is, God doesn't give us more then we can handle. So if you have a hurdle in your life, remember who sets up the jumps and spend daily time with your coach. God sets the jumps, he knows the course so spend time with him, learning from him, practicing with him and then you will be prepared without fear for what he gives you in life. There's a song lyric I like and I feel like It really relates to this, "So if our God is for us, then who could ever stop us? And if our God is with us then what can stand against?" Next time you reach a hurdle, remember these words :)
