I have been under the weather for the past week. I developed a slight cold that had be down for two days. It was very interesting because I hardly ever get sick and if I do, it only last a day. While I was down and out, I did a lot of thinking because I didn't feel like doing much of anything else and too, I was so congested that I couldn't sleep at night (up for two days striaght...not a good feeling). During my insomnia, I thought about having the ability to do. Here I was up for two days just sitting there watching television. Even though I didn't feel good and I couldn't sleep, there was still something I could have been doing to better my life. I pulled out my lap top and begin to work on my novel. After working on it for a few hours, I then picked up a book that I had been reading and read about 20 pages of it. Before I knew it was time to go to work. I went to work, got off and then begin working on my novel again. After all of this, I didn't realize that I hadn't had any sleep in over 24 hours.
Here I was sick, congested, not sleeping and still pushing forward to better myself even when I was down. Whn things like this happen, I can't help but believe that it's a test from God. He wants to see if I want what I am doing bad enough. So he puts me to the test. Let me take away a few things but still give him the ability to do the things he prayed to me about and see what he does. We are no different than the kids we raise or see being raised. We test them to see if they comprehend what we have taught them. And if they don't pass the test, we don't give them the privilage that they so desire. God does us the same way.
We have to start fighting through the tough times. If you have the abiloity to do when you are down, do! If you don't have the ability to do, find someone that can and get them to help you do it. No matter how bad something is you can get through it and make life better. You just have to push beyond the limits that you have set in your head. Your body is capapble of doing things you have yet to challenge. If a woman can carry a person inside them for nine months and then push it out of them, you can do anything!
Stop lying to yourself saying, "I can't do this and I can't do that" when you haven't put forth 125% effort. Step up to the plate and take a swing. If I can do what I do with the time I have, you can as well. I had to come to work early to drop off some keys. I don't have to be there until 11, so Istopped by the library right down the street to post to my blog. You have to keep pushing inspite of all that happens to you.
