At a Spot

Ever find yourself at a spot - a spot where everything seems difficult? You think well this or that ought to be difficult, but this and that ought to be easy, but IT'S NOT! Nothing, nothing seems to be easy. You see great things, desire great things, know they are wonderful things but there is frustration at every turn. Roadblock after roadblock seem to appear. You feel like you could just pull your hair out. Ever been at this spot? What do you do? I wish I knew! I wish I had the grand answer. In the scheme of things, what do I know? I know this, you have to keep at it. Even in the frustration, you have keep pushing. You do what you can do. You venture around the roadblocks in other directions. You do something! You chip away. You accomplish what you can. You believe breakthrough is just around the corner. You never give up. Most importantly, you check you attitude. You find a way to stay positive. How? You remember what's important. You remember why you are doing what you are doing in the first place. See each little step a success. Break it all down. Look for victory in the little things realizing the victory in the big things may come later. AND, give it a rest! Leave it for a while. Do something else. Most of all take it all to God. Pray, put the spot and all it contains at His feet. Remember Jesus. Remember family. Remember blessings. Let it all fall into the right perspective. Before you know it you will look around to find "the spot" is now behind you.
