A Life in Words

I always seem to grab a childs mentality on life when dealing with a problem. I sit down and say to myself that if I could just do this or just get that everything would fall into place and be right again. I always see myself climbing a mountain as the metaphoric duty in my head but in the mountain that I am climbing it always seems to only have one tough spot, one spot that is just brutally hard and if you can get through that its beautiful sailing from there on in. This is why I am always shocked at the fact that when I start my climb and get through the rough parts I pick my head up and start a light jog in victory only to find myself running into another wall. Shocked that life had done this too me or that God would dare allow two trouble spots in my life. Such a travesty should never be allowed on my mental mountain challenge. But thats just it, you never seem to only have only one hard spot, only one tough time and for me to assume that once that tough time had been accomplished is a light hearted fools thought. One of which the devil would be oh to eager to take charge with. I need to position myself for a tough climb from bottom to top and not only be prepared for that climb I also need to be able to redirect and make myself ready for the next. There are plenty of peaks to go around, and if I get stuck on the first one how will I ever get to where I need to go... Stay the course and stay calm... I love the British war propaganda that simply says keep calm and carry on. A good reminder to just bounce off the bad moments and keep going forward knowing that once you leave one behind there is a good chance around the corner another awaits. Stay strong because although the devil maybe be trying to trick you at every turn Jesus is the one with the map and hes right beside me...
