Some days it feels like I’m wrestling the ground. These exercises in futility remind me that it is time to stand up and move forward. There are some things that I can’t change and are not mine to change. I must learn to accept these things, leave them to God, and work on what is mine to change like…my life.

I hear we are running a race. To be honest I hate running, and I hate races. So often I find myself walking.
I like walking when the weather is nice and scenery/company is pleasant as well. However I find most the time the heat is unbearable and the company is dreaful. In those times I have to crawl to make it anywhere.
I really hate crawling but I have to keep moving. However sometimes there is a big wall in my way, I have to stop until it moves. Bloody walls take so long to move. In those cases I have to stop.
People do mock me when they see me on the ground waiting for a wall to move. “Walls don’t move” they say. “I’ve seen it before” I reply. However they mock me and they keep moving; too bad they are going the wrong way.
Eventually it moves or it is moved or the world crashes around or on top of it. Either way the wall is no longer and issue for one reason or another. Then I can get back to crawling.
I guess thats all to say don’t worry when people give you crap about running. Its totally ok to be kneeling, lots of good things happen in those situations.
