Good morning all!!! The tears in his eyes said it all, Grandpa you let me go! I was teaching him to ride his bike without the stabilizers and he had fallen. Come on lets try again I said, up he got and soon he was laughing as he rode round and round. Have you ever tried to do something extraordinary and, in the midst of your perceived success, lost your confidence, then your momentum, eventually only to fail? Has that failure made you afraid to try again? Finding our way in life can sometimes be daunting. Which way should I go? Which choices should I make? Often, in being unable to decide, we freeze in place, taking a stand for safety. Not moving. Not growing. To commit yourself to a goal, you must know that all your steps will not be plotted ahead of time, but you must trust that you will find your way as you move along. God uses our efforts, our skills, our knowledge to help ourselves and others to move up in life, toward solid lives of purpose and promise. When were down and stuck in negative circumstances, he uses friends and family members to lift us up. Sometimes, he uses our own discomfort to motivate us toward new opportunities for success. And he uses our broken and empathetic hearts to encourage us to help others do the same. God lifts us, steadies us, and readies us for lives filled with possibilities! He said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness. Therefore, most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore, I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christs sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 Corinthians 12:9-10
