Stepping Forward and Stepping up

Life can take some interesting turns. Things happen that we don't have control over. Whether it is being diagnosed with a disease or having a car die on the side of the road. Something that we all need to remember when we have "bad" things happen to us is that

A. God loves us.
B. Every trial will come with a blessing or added strength to yourself.

The very attitude in which we take these trials that we get can define us. We can choose to become bitter and angry because stuff shouldn't happen to us because we are doing what we are supposed to. We can choose to try to run from our problems all together and pretend that they don't exist. We can also choose to take our trials head on and with a good attitude. You never know you might even learn to enjoy these learning experiences that God lets us have.

A wise man(my brother) gave me some sage advice about life.

You climb a mountain step by step, Just like life there are things that sometimes we want right away but we get discouraged because we cant obtain them quickly enough. The advice would be take life step by step, sometimes we feel like we are falling behind but the important thing is to keep advancing. The people in the back that are moving forward are better off than the people that are in the front moving backwards.

No matter where we are in life right now. Whether you are in back alleys lighting up a joint, doing humanitarian service in a 3rd world country, or anything in-between, you can choose right now. It is better to be moving forward than backwards. Don't be afraid of getting help, asking for prayers, or being a better you. Fear is something that comes from Satan. Fear of death, fear of loss, fear of pain, fear of humility, fear of love, fear of fun, fear of growing, fear of learning. There are so many things out there in this world that we need to remember to not be afraid of what it has to offer. We are here for a reason, our existence is not random. Don't be afraid. Do what you know is right, do what you can to help others, be the best you there is. If you do that then there is no fear that will be able to cripple you and prevent you from taking that step forward or that step up. I attest to you right now as Children of God there is no limit to our potential there is no limit to what we can become. Trust in the Lord, do your part and success will be inevitable.
