I Might Fall

So yesterday the girls and I supported our roomie at DMAP's award banquet and it was a pretty good ceremony and well attended so in that I was happy...

They asked the Chair of Minority Affairs here at Drexel to speak and he recited one of his poems and one part that stood out to me was, "You're too strong. There is a system designed to hold you back and over the years you've shown them that they were wrong. You're too strong" That encouraged me about this term ending and the one yet to start. I've had so many fights in my career paths and future goals and I've fallen so many times but God was able to help me back up every time...

This morning my roomie and I visited another Baptist Church and the pastor spoke on "Serving the Lord will Cost you Something". He let us know that we must first acknowledge who we are in Christ but then be able to deny ourselves {humble yourself}, take up a cross, and then follow Christ. This cross is not gonna be light and the path we follow won't be paved straight so we may fall a few times, friends may leave us on the ground, people may walk past us on the ground and we may see people without crosses freely walking, but in knowing the God we serve, we won't worry about them but pick ourselves and our crosses up and keep on pressing.

So I might fall, friends may leave me, people may walk past me, and those without crosses may laugh in my face but I know that even if I fall, my back will never hit the ground and I won't be there long. Whoever reads this understand that you may be fighting and praying and asking God why you gotta fight so much, why you gotta cry so much, why you can't sleep at night and you're not as happy/prosperous as everyone around you...but keep fighting, keep crying, keep praying, keep walking and in due time everything will make sense and that cross will no longer be that heavy on ya shoulder and if you fall your back will NEVA HIT THE GROUND...
