Live and Be Strong!

Random thoughts on this beautiful Sunday morning…

Because some have died doesn’t mean I can’t live.

Because some are sick doesn’t mean I can’t be well.

Because some are poor doesn’t mean I can’t have abundance.

How are the weak to be helped if there are no strong?

How can the strong stay strong if they give up their strength feeling guilty using it because another might not have strength?

Must everyone who has anything feel they must give it up and give to another who isn’t there yet?

How can we be givers if we have nothing to give. How can we help the weak if we are only weak ourselves?

I believe God wants us to live, to be strong, and to increase….so from our abundance we will have enough to help others.

What area in my life can I strengthen or live better in today?

Mach I

This is a fighter pilot term.

Breaking through the sound barrier…

Back when the USAF was designing stealth fighter jets. they came up with planes that could fly so fast, they’d break through the sound barrier and you could hear a big BOOM! up in the sky as it happened. We used to hear it quite frequently when we were kids….called a sonic boom. It was quite a feat!

…more to it than just flying fast…story be told, it took a certain physical stamina and determination of the pilot to break through the sound barrier. The pressure and momentary strain on his entire body was enough to make him temporarily sick.

However after he passed through the barrier, it was smooth sailing, easy, almost effortless….if he could just stand it long enough to get through all the initial resistance. Then each time he broke through it became easier the next time.

Then there was Mach II and Mach III !!!

Our personal lives have ceilings we need to break through, resistance we need to overcome, and if we can keep the above story in mind, we’ll be prepared to keep pushing …knowing we will get through, and then it will get easier every time after that.

How fast do we want to fly to our dreams? Can we decide to push through the resistance we will meet?

Be prepared for a whole new freedom and experience in your life. NOTHING can hold you back…if you keep pushing forward!
