Nobody walks around with a net underneath us, ready to catch us every time we may fall. We don’t walk around with shoulder pads, a helmet and knee pads everyday, just in case. But rather when we fall, we hit the ground hard. But as Rocky Balboa says, its not about how many times you get hit and fall, its about getting up again.

“Nobody said it was easy” -Coldplay

My Dad said the greatest things in life must be worked at. If Something is gained really easy, you can lose it just as easy. This road of life is not always paved roads, but trails full of obstacles and challenges. There is beauty in facing your adversity and overcoming. There is  a huge reward in forgiving and knowing God is in everything.

Speaking of Rocky Balboa, during life group last night. As the kids played in their playroom. Diego the lone ranger decided to ride his wooden Horse with no supervision. Being that he is way stronger then he is aware of. He launched himself off the horse and hit the corner of his eye. I remember seeing pictures of myself as  kid with a huge bruise under my eye due to a running accident where I wasn’t supposed to. I wish I could walk around with a net for Diego, so every time he falls i can catch him. I know that won’t happen, but I love the fact that I can take him in my arms afterwards and tell him he will be ok. Lesson learned….I hope. He’s on his way to becoming the Giant God created him to be. So now he is rock’n a shiner under his eye. He looks tougher than ever. Try messing with him now “bully at dolphin mall”!
