There are times in our lives when we have to go through so called hard time. What do we do at those times? Do we give up? There are so times when we havee to have Faith to know that everything will work out when everything is going wrong in our lives. I use this picture to remind me of this. When I reach the end of my rope in my mind I tie a knot at the end and hold on for my life.  I may be blown every way. I may see tree flying by me. The storm will last always. If I can hold through the short storm, I will be ok.

 

The palm treecan make through the storm. It may sway back and forth but that is all it does because its root system is strong. We can not see the roots, but they what allows it to make it through. It not what we see in ourselves but what we do not see examples (Joy, Peace, Patience, and Understanding) things like that allow us to make it through the storms that come in our lives. Have we taken the time to develop those things in our lives. That is the question!!!!! Let’s be like the palm tree and have a strong root system in our lives.

There are times in our lives when we will hear only negative voice. The question is what do we do in this case. Do we allow those voices to stop from moving forward? Do we move ahead know that we should still try even if we are successful or not. A lot of people have not tried to do som,ething because they had no support. I say of there a way I am going ahead. I had fail sometimes. Through that experience I learn something about myself. When I was successful, those were good times. Move ahead and try what is on your mind. That may be the very thing that you need in your life at that time. It may allow you to grow into the person that you are suppose to be or may bring your gifts out that where his to you.

After the storm, there is a calm season. The air is cleaner, and the dead trees are uprooted. Then, we know that the storm was not so bad. While we are in the storm, we tend to worry about the outcome.  If our foundation is strong, the houses of our lives will stand through any storm that comes our way. How is our foundation? That is the question. What are feeding ourselves? Are we feeding ourselves greed, anger, and discomfort? Things like that destroy from the inside out. How do we talk to ourselves? Do we put ourselves down? The world says too many bad thing about us, so we should speak live to ourselves. Our words become thought, and our thought become action. Let speak life over our lives. While other house are destroyed, our houses can stand in our so called hard times.

We may not be able to do things in the way others do them. We can do it in our way and the job gets done. We have use what we have to do the job. We may need to use other things that are not use to the job to get it done. We can adapt to any situation we face in our lives if we would only use what we have in our hands. It may be small or great, but it helps get the job done. Let’s use what is in our hands

We all have someone in our lives that tells us to sit down and stop trying. They might say that we can not do that thing that we are trying to do. I know for myself if I had of listened to them I would not be where I am today. We have know, know, and know that we still can try. If make it or not, we tried to do it. We may come closer than we thought we would have come. There is a song “Ain’t gonna let nobody turn me around.” This should be our theme song for our lives. We all have storms in our lives and thw question is can make it through them.

What do we do when others say we can’t or there is no way we are going to make? Do we lay down and die? Do we look within ourselves and still try. If no one else believe in us, it should be us see ourselves winning in the end. If we do this, we will win or come close to reaching the goal. In trying to reach that goal, we learn something new about ourselves that will help to be successful the next time we try. Even in defeat, we still win. Do we expect to win or lose? that is the quesion. We must break out of the egg of our so called hard times.

Sometimes we can see a book, think that it is no good. It is not until we read the book, that we see if we like the book. We are the same way. When people look at us for the first time, they judge us by how we talk, walk, and live. How do we feel when people don’t take the time to get know us and judge us. The next time we see someone who is different  let take the time to get to know them. We may be strange to others. Talk and walk to get to know us and read the book of our life. If we take the time to think about that, we find the gifts that others have to share with us.

 

What kind of appliance are we? Are we a stove of frig? Do we stir up trouble, or do we bring peace with everyhere we go. The frig allows the food stay a bit long and has two section. One section for the food the does not get cold and where the food needs to be frozen to save it. 

The story of the three little pigs. One pig built his home out of straw, the other one used wood, finally the third one used brick.  The Big Bad Wolf came to blow their homes down. The Big Bad Wolf could blow down the first two homes. The third home made of bricks he could not blow down. Is the hous of our lives straw, wood ,or brick? Just a question we need to ask ourselves. It took some time to build the home made of bricks, but in the end that home stood the test of the Big Bad Wolf’s wind. There is going to be a Big Bad Wolf to come in our lives for sure. Are we ready? that is the question!!!!
