Take A Moment…
Take a moment to breathe and be thankful. Take a moment to breathe and be happy counting it all joy. Take a moment because the biggest fight is not with your competition. The biggest fight is with you because you’re your competition. Why not take a moment to be thankful and joyful because once you overcome You no one can stand in your way.
Many times in life we fail to take a moment and really think why am I here? Why am I in this position? You told everyone you were ready to go out on your own and make a name for yourself. As things start off well some where along the road the tough moments come. Instead of taking a moment for ourselves to breathe we take a moment to worry. Worry, the beginning of self-destruction as self-doubt starts to eat away first at your dream and vision. As the dream and vision begin to lose steam we ourselves release our own steam, our own frustration. Not realizing that we were releasing some built up pressure, some built up fight, some built up faith to help us keep moving forward. Instead of using the built up steam inside of us towards our vision we do as the World does and release our frustration. We begin to yell at family and friends and then we begin to yell at ourselves, we need a vacation to release our stress.
We come back from our vacation feeling relaxed only to realize we ran out of steam and have to build it back up. We take a moment to go back to the drawing board refreshing ourselves of the vision, building back its faith. But only if we would have just taken a moment before releasing our built up steam, we would be miles ahead. I found myself in this position as I came back from a so called “needed” vacation. Only to realize that it wasn’t a vacation that I needed, as I was going through a test, a test of faith. Not a test in my abilities as a writer, father, friend, son, or brother but as the man Lorenzo. Did I have faith in myself? Did I have faith that God my Abba, created me for a purpose? As long as I believe and have faith in God and myself then I can get through any test.
I was growing tired but it wasn’t the work that was making me tired. I was losing faith as I was draining myself of it as I began to doubt myself, but in the moment I felt drained from the work. I worked harder and harder to maintain my progress but my mental fatigue began to set in. Nothing I was doing was working anymore. Nothing I was doing felt effective anymore. Nothing I was doing was returning beneficial results. Nothing I…Nothing I…Nothing I…Nothing I say or do will change until I take a moment.
I had to take a moment to breathe and be thankful. I had to take a moment to breathe and be happy counting it all joy. I had to take a moment because the biggest fight was not with any competition. The biggest fight was within me. I had to take a moment to take me out of the equation. Why not take a moment to be thankful and joyful because once you overcome You no one can stand in your way.
“But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.” (Philippians 4:19)
