Sometimes I'm bruised in the smooth, slick setbacks
dragging me down to fatigue at the bottom of the board
never really enjoying the ladders for fear of the next slide
but maybe I should just play like Lauren
knowing I'm meant to reach the top eventually
high-fiving all my fellow cardboard standup friends
and sailing down with my hands raised to You
Wheeeeeeee!
“The truth that many people never understand, until it is too late, is that the more you try to avoid suffering the more you suffer because smaller and more insignificant things begin to torture you in proportion to your fear of being hurt.” Thomas Merton
"But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong." 2 Corinthians 12:9-10
