Lessons

I learned something today through carrying a canoe?! The easiest way to make progress in our lives is usually the most painful!!! We make the greatest progress in our lives when we sacrifice our flesh! But who wants to sacrifice their flesh?! I know I don't.... escpecially today while carrying that canoe! The easiest way to carry it was also the way that took the most time, and held us up from walking quicker!!! But the hardest and most painful way was the way to make up the most ground and the way we walked the quickest!!! It took a while to finally figure that out while walking down the road, but I finally gave in along with my friend and walked with it so we could make the most progress.... I finally learned what the big hold up is! It's not God who takes so long to do things, It's us who takes too long to let him do the things that requires us to make sacrifices in our daily lives and which causes the most pain! If we would just allow God to do and show us the easiest way to get through our trials and tribulations, then maybe we wouldn't have to go through so much crap, to get to the same point in the end, because with God you always have to give up what is keeping you further from him!
