You can do it!

Oh to hear those words! To be encouraged, to have our own personal cheerleader in our adult life. Remember as a younger kid when learning to ride a bike, with someone watching and cheering us on? To direct the steering wheel as we start to lean towards a side. To catch us before we coast down the hill loosing complete control as the pedals spin fast. Whether it was a parent, sibling, grandparent, neighbor, etc...there was someone there to help us. To give us words of praise, to encourage us not to give up, and to pick us up when we fell down.

Now, we have grown up. The person that was next to us while we were learning to ride a bike have let go of the steering wheel and given us total control. Choosing to steer left or right, splashing through mud puddles, coasting slow or cruising at fast pace.

On our own we are facing daily obstacles, struggles, challenges and sometimes disappointments. During those times we need to go back to the place of childhood and listen to the inner voice that is telling us "YOU CAN DO IT!" Don't give up, if you fall then pick yourself up and try again!

The beauty if this all is that we are not alone! When life starts to feel like you are way in over your head, that there is NO hope, that it would just be EASY to QUIT now...DON'T!!! Do NOT let your fears and disappointments take you away from your purpose and focus! "The enemy has came to kill, steal, and destroy. I have come so that you may live and have it abundantly." (John 10:10)

There is an inner desire in all of us, and to find it we need to search deep, find our focus, and ask for help! It will not be easy. There will be distractions, disappointments, heartbreak, trials, tears, frustration. So, now you're asking "Why should I put myself through all of those things, when I am comfortable with where I am? Even though I complain that I hate my job, I hate myself, I wish I could go here or there, I wish I had the money, I am so jealous, life is not fair, I guess I'm not lucky, and woe is me." EXCUSES, EXCUSES, EXCUSES!!!! Let go of them!!! Don't fall into the trap that "I'm not good enough, or I don't deserve it, or I wasn't born with privileges."

I'm here to tell you, if you haven't heard your inner voice yet, "YOU CAN DO IT!!!"  “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” (Matthew 19:26) The impossible here is facing life alone, not calling on him or others to help you. The possible??? ANYTHING!! "Delight yourself in the Lord,
 and he will give you the desires of your heart." (Psalm 37:4)


I challenge you to reach out of your comfort zone. To search deep and find your "drive" for life! 
I promise you that you will not regret it. You will fall down, but you MUST get back up!!

Don't loose hope!
