Wednesday October 23, 2013 Is your life full of difficulties and temptations? Then be happy. Jas 1:2 TLB DEALING WITH ADVERSITY (1) Lori Schneider is one of very few women to climb Mt. Everest-yet another step on a climb she started ten years earlier when she was diagnosed with multiple scierosis. Terrified, but determined to achieve her goal, she quit her job and devoted herself to climbing. Nine years later shed conquered the peaks on six of the earths continents! Lori sees MS not as a negative, but a positive, her father said. She accepted it as a challenge. Unfurling a banner in honor of the first World MS Day, she called her dad on a satellite phone: Im here on the summit! I made it! A dream sixteen years in the making realized! Now here goal is to show others who face challenges that even the highest mountain can be climbed one step at a time. In STAYING THE COURSE, BJ Gallagher writes: Our journey...is about progress, not perfection. Its not about doing one thing 100 percent better--its doing 100 things 1 percent better each day. Progress is evolutionary, not revolutionary...most days we measure in inches, not miles. What two or three little things can I do today that would move me forward? Youll be amazed how much distance you can cover taking it in increments. Little things add up; inches turn to miles. We string together our efforts like so many pearls, and before long...you have a whole strand! My thoughts: One thing is for sure in this life.....we will ALL have to face head-on adversity. No matter who we think we are, rich or poor, black, brown, or white. Educated or not. Non- Christian or Christian, adversity will strike us. On tomorrow we will have another reading lesson on dealing with it. To all who read this post have a God-filled day, and remember Sunday is NOT the only Lords Day. Everyday that He gives us should be considered His Day.
