Five Minute Fridays Gypsy Mama
Start.
On this journey we call life I have chosen a path that was laid out thousands of years ago. The only map I have is the Bible that sits at my right hand on my cluttered kitchen table. It used to be covered in dust because I never cracked it open, then life cracked me wide open and I reached for it like a drowning man reaches for a life raft. It not only kept me afloat and my head above the waters of life, it gave me direction and a spot to aim for. As the years have passed I have held to this path, this direction. True I have wondered and gotten momentarily distracted, but always returned.
So join me? Join me in lying down anything that hinders, and run this path with me, this race? *Run, walk if you need to, crawl if you have to* , climb on a back and accept a piggy back ride even, but NEVER EVER EVER give up.
Stop.
*adapted from one of my FAVORITE running mantras by Dean Karnazes that says:
Run if you can, walk if you have to, crawl if you must, just never give up
such a beautiful reminder that regardless of how we follow His path...it is the only right path!! Joining you in never giving up!!
