It's Not Over.....

Have you ever felt like you were down to your last?  You started out strong, but somewhere in the middle you started to fizz out....You started with great intentions but it all seem like the dream is so far away...Well, today, I'm here to say..."IT IS NOT OVER..unless you give up!"

Last night I was out with some classmates bowling...and all night I was rolling gutter balls....It seemed I just could not get my bowling arm together....I hit a lot of gutter balls...my hands were getting tired...but, in the last game of the night........I made great efforts to bowl my best game....I approached the bowling area and took my time, paid close attention to how I was swinging my arm, how fast I was rushing to throw the ball....and this time I got a strike on first throw..then on the second throw same thing....My enthusiasm was flowing and I was on my way to a TURKEY (3 strikes in row)....Well, it didn't happen...My hand started hurting...I was reverting back to my old ways....but, I kept telling myself...I can win this game...Then I got another gutter ball....Well, I still had the lead...so, I reverted back to my visualizing my every step...I improved and was able to maintain the lead...and the maintaining allowed my competitors to gain ground on me....So, here we are at the last frame of the game and my hand is tired and I need all strikes to win the game....and to my surprise I did it..I rolled 3 strikes in a row...It was truly amazing....I know this was such an insignificant feat in the scale of real life but there's a story of triumphant, visualization and perseverance in it....

Sometime the road ahead will have some smooth parts when all things are coming together nicely...then there may be days when it look like all things are falling apart....but, if you do not give up...your ending will be all that you ever imagined...

So, PUSH when it's time..Rest when it's needed...But, whatever you do NEVER, NEVER GIVE UP!

I just had the privilege to witness a beautiful testimony of one of my classmates that continues to bring tears to my eye and joy in my heart because she never gave up.  She pushed after many failed attempts at passing the COMP...She sought out wise council...She rested...Boy, was she tested....But, She continued to follow her dream and on this same day that I rolled 3 strikes in a row...she PASSED her STEP 1 exam....

GOD shows up for us ALL...He has no respect of person...

Now, go live your dream...
