There have been times in my life when walking has been hard. Times when I just wanted to stay in bed with the covers over my head and not face the day problems . We all have been there and will experience days and moments when the walk is plain just too hard. I had a friend years ago in a small group that told me some good advice. She had lost a child to cancer and had fought hard to help her live. After she passed away she did not want to walk. For a time she lost her way and her ability to walk. She said she had learned if she just put her foot on the ground and took one step forward and tried to make it to the bathroom and then the next step after that she could make it through the day. Another woman who mentored me for a short time told me after my daughters went away to college and I was so sad to allow myself a short time when I gave in to tears or not walking and then after a short time to pray and get on with God’s plan for the day. Both ladies walked on the journey with me for a short time and I still remember them and their words. I today have spoken that advice to my heart. Keep walking Carol! If you need some encouragement today or perhaps down the road it comes to you that you want to give up and not walk anymore, try some advice for some ladies who have experienced that thought and feeling and keep walking. Take that first step.
I am so glad God sees our ways and our steps and directs them.
Praise His Name as He is the One who Keeps us Walking when we Want to Stop and Give Up!
