Life is harrrrd ....

:)
Okay so I went climbing today and I actually learned something from it! :) I learned that I am a complete wimp when it comes to 'life' and I have practically no will power. So let me explain...

I was about 40 ft off the ground on a pretty decent climb(5.9 .. .for those of you who know)  on  a rope of course. It wasn't too hard but I had done a few before it and I was definitely feeling it. Sooooo, I was having to make a traverse, which in this case meant swinging from one hand so I could get my foot over on another hold that I couldn't quite reach and grabbing another hold with the other hand.. Anyways, I was up there on the wall testing that hold I had to swing on. My arm and basically everything in me was saying YOU CAN'T do it.. and I felt like I had no grip all... like if I grabbed that hold my hand would just slip off. BUT I decided to go ahead and try it because it was do that or fail the climb, which would mean starting over to technically complete it.. So, even though every thing it me said: nope the climb is over ... I focused, took the jump and just went for it..... And GUESS WHAT?  I had no problem at all.
Okay it was a little hard but my arm held me there just fine and I didn't put weight on the rope..... I kinda surprised myself..... and so that got me thinking later tonight.

How did I do that? Why did I think I couldn't? I decided that physically we a capable of MUCH more than we think.... and when our mind tells us it is over... we really have only just begun.

How often do we get to a point in life where things are just too hard and God has given us too much and we CAN'T take it anymore and we are asking God... why? It happens... for me anyways. Its tiring to be at that point and the longer you dwell on it the more tired and fearful you'll get, until there is nothing left and you fall.

So my point is... We make life hard on ourselves. When we are complaining or afraid  about challenges that we are facing...  it is because we don't believe in God and because we aren't sure that He is a strong as He is. We are  complete wimps in that way and if we don't step out in faith and a little courage and  believe that God will follow through and that He will strengthen us. Then we will keep standing there and just waiting for the things around us to change to make our position easier.... Ya know what? They aren't gonna.... mostly because all us humans are very much alike in this way.... we are pathetic unmotivated wimps without God. We need to block out the part of us that tells us we can't and not just make our selves think we can but make our selves DO IT! :) I think that "ourself" is our biggest obstacle!

Anyways.... I really hope that all made sense. I'm pretty tired tonight but I had to write this down while I was thinking about it! :)
