Most of the time our lives move along at a steady pace with no major obstacles to maneuver around. But sometimes life is filled with those moments when each day requires courage to get out of bed. We have all faced our fears, usually coming out unscathed on the other side. We have all fallen in and out of love, usually a better person for the experience. We have all felt pain and have become stronger. We have all faced grief and realized how blessed we are. All of those moments require courage to keep moving ahead, but the kind of courage I am speaking of is the soft kind that gently keeps pushing us along.
Of late life has thrown a few soft-pitch curve balls. They aren't major things. Hopefully they won't become major things. But each morning it requires courage to get up and face what might be waiting for me that day. I am learning much and at the same time very little. The greatest thing I have learned today came from Alma 58:11...
...God did visit us with assurances that he would deliver us; yea, insomuch that he did speak peace to our souls, and did grant unto us great faith, and did cause us that we should hope for our deliverance in him.
As I read and re-read I realized that my soft curve balls would not knock me down. I am conquering much just by getting up and facing each day, focusing on the little blessings that abound. I am not alone in this battle that is mine to hold.
About Me
- Kodi
- They say a man's house is his castle, well for a woman it's a kingdom. We are in charge of shining the armor, feeding the battalion, oiling the drawbridge, banging the tapestries, emptying the chamber pots and driving the carriage. Not to mention we must look great while doing it. In this kingdom there are war days and there are peace days, but not matter what kind of day it is, it is full of blessings and lots and lots of photography.
