Into every life some little challenges will fall.
But it is the big challenges that really like to make a grand entrance.
You may be just minding your own business, going about your daily life as usual, when….
WHOMP.
A big ol’ challenge just plonks itself down smack-dab in front of you.
Right in the middle of the exact direction you were headed.
You didn’t order that.
Don’t want it. Don’t need it. But it doesn’t have a return address and you can’t figure out how or where to send it back.
And suck it all, but it doesn’t seem to feel inclined to move anytime soon.
(In fact, if you listen really closely, it almost sounds like it is snoring.)
So there is nothing for it, but you have to start climbing.
You have to claw your way up and over the darned thing, stuck like a boulder as it is right in the middle of your otherwise perfectly orderly life.
When this happens, it is hard to prepare for what you may encounter.
You really don’t know.
You just have to begin your climb and trust that the help you need to get up and over it will show up right when you need it most.
