Four hours of sleep and my arms's length of a venti coffee from Starbucks. The result? A surprisingly awesome day.
If I were having a contest, I'm pretty sure I would have blown the number of people that I made laugh off the charts. I'm not gonna lie, I was kind of ridiculous today. Probably a result of not sleeping more that 5 hours a night since my serious lack of sleep coming home from El Salvador. Diagnosis delirious.
I was listening to a song today and part of the lyrics spoke volumes. It perfectly put into words exactly where I'm at right now. Maybe you can relate.
I'm sailing on a ship that's bound for life.
I wrestle with the winds against the tide.
I'd leave it all behind to reach for more.
I'm sailing on to Your golden shore.
- 'Sailing On A Ship' - Phil Wickham
Life gets rough sometimes, there's no doubt about that. We've all had our share of falls. But keep looking up. The thing to remember, is that the outcome is more than likely nothing you can understand while you're stuck in whatever situation it is that you're stuck in. It will be an amazing, positive, beautiful outcome. And if it's not? Then the journey isn't over yet. The lesson hasn't been learned. Watch out, because the tide might be pulling you just a little harder, until you reach the end. There is an end. And believe me when I tell you that ending's aren't always sad. There is a such thing as happily ever after. And you just might be on your way there, but how will you know if you give up?
Fight the good fight. Give it all up and reach for more. Because with every storm you face, you'll find a greater grace.
Consider the obvious.
