Childlike Faith

As a child learning how to ride a bike, the piece of advice that is the same no matter who is teaching you is this: if you fall off, you get right back on and try again. Sometimes for a child it's hard to understand. But the person teaching you knows that eventually you're going to get it and at some point you'll look back and wonder why it took you so long to be brave enough to take those stinking training wheels off!

It's funny how that childlike faith can take a little one from a tricycle, to training wheels, to two wheels, to no hands. They can stand on the edge of the pool and jump never second guessing whether the person in the pool was going to catch them.

As adults, where has that childlike faith gone? Why is it so hard to just believe that you have it in you to accomplish whatever goals you put in front of you? Maybe we've had too much of a dose of reality...an overdose, so to speak. Life can be really hard. Some days harder than others.

So the one thing I'm going to work really hard at doing from this point on is to find that childlike faith again. After all, I have so many other people who believe I can continue this journey to health and darn it, I can be successful!! It's time I take that leap of childlike faith and never second guess that the people supporting me will always be there to help if I fall. And when I do fall, because I'm sure I will every now and then, I'll get right back up and start again!!!

For all those supporting me, thank you! You are my rocks, and I appreciate you!!!
