Facing The Hard Stuff

Lately, it seems that the mountains I have been climbing keeps growing upward. Just as I am about reach the peak, the mountain shoots up another 15 meters. Making it seem impossible to reach the other side.

This week as I stepped back and re-evaluating these mountains in my life, I realized some things:

1. Letting some of them go and admitting that I have already done all that I can and I just need to relax.

2. Walking away from some of them is not giving up and not losing. It is just being wise enough to understand that sometimes letting some things go is the best.

3. When I let myself be at peace with things I can listen to what I need to hear and see the things I need to see. No matter how small the problem there was always an answer.

So many things lined up this week. Like our scripture study lesson for the week supported something one of the kids have been working on for 5 weeks in a group therapy session. It was amazing that they were able to get the words to help support these new skills from the New Testament (from apostles of the Lord). This example was only one of the many things I have been trying to climb.

I am so thankful for personal revelation. For being able to see what I needed to do myself in order to receive this personal revelation. After all it’s all about the climb isn’t it? It’s about the growth and the change. Facing the hard things rather than hiding from them is so much more rewarding than hiding from them or just giving up.
