Looking up at the top of the mountain, I thought to myself there was no way I was getting up there. As cool as it would be to reach the top, looking up there was no way I was going to be able climb that far. I mean hiking no problem but climbing a mountain that was just flat unrealistic. Nonetheless, still thrilled to get to climb around I started off on my adventure with a friend following the sound of our contacts voice as she made her way up. We focused on just getting to the top of that first peak. That was our goal if only we could reach that spot we would be content. Once we got there it was soo fulfilling to have accomplished our goal and the very top didn’t seem quite so high anymore. And again we focused on the task directly in front of us. Climbing on step at a time til finally, we reached the top. To think we almost gave up because it looked impossible…. I can’t help but wonder if maybe God doesn’t always give us the whole picture because it’s “to high”… That’s just too big I could never do anything like that. Not when you are at the bottom and are only looking at the very top. You have to climb the first peak, you have to take it step by step or it seems impossible. It’s about the process and what you learn that gets you to the top. That’s what gets you to fulfilling what God has for you. What happens when God places big dreams in you? What do you do when people around you say that’s to big you could never do that? There’s a point when you have to find the motivation within yourself to climb the mountain regardless of the people trying to keep you comfortable at the bottom. For some reason some people either want to keep you from what God has planned which is crazy or they think they know what is a better fit for your life than God which is also crazy. Who are we to question God’s plans for someone’s life? Since when do we know what is too big? WE DON’T. So I encourage you climb that mountain no matter how high or how long it takes and if someone else is climbing a mountain that you think is too big for them give them a boost. Monday, April 11, 2011
How Big Is TOO Big?
