faith

Today has been utterly frustrating. It was one of those days that left me without anything to keep me busy that I resorted to enumerating the things I haven't yet achieved at this age and in this stage of my life. I look at all those boasting about what they had already achieved and their current status in life and it was something you don't want to see when you are contemplating your career and ticking off the things you don't have at the moment.

It took a while before I remembered something I read a very long time ago that never fails to make me feel like I have a fighting chance. The author wrote a very touching and inspiring piece of written work. It wasn't famous and I don't think the author had popularity in mind. It was something that was written in the simplest way using the simplest words. It sought to inspire and it did inspire me. It was God talking through a letter published in a local magazine and the message said something like: Stop looking around at the things I have given others. Just keep looking up at me. It never fails to snap me out of my envy and remember that I have more than what I want and even more than what I need. He will provide. I just need to believe in Him and believe in the me that He believes in.

In his name, I will push through.
