While playing Candy Crush I realized looking down takes my eyes off of the solution. By looking up you get a wider view that just might bust everything wide open.
Why is that so hard to remember when we are in the midst of our struggle? Every day I have to have a conversation with myself as a reminder of what I already know. The fear of not having what I need, failing at a new challenge; honestly it doesn't take much to rattle me. That is my struggle; forgetting to look up and see all that is around me just waiting to help and encourage. It has been entrenched in my psyche since childhood that I can never do anything right, so at times I am literally frozen with fear that I will make a mistake. For me mistakes are not for learning but rather a statement or proof that I couldn't do it. Thankfully those thoughts are fewer and far between, every once in awhile a thought will creep into my conscious and I must beat it back. So here I am once again to bask in the Grace that gives each of us a new start each day. I will continue this journey with my head held high, expecting the unexpected at any moment.
