When I feel like there is
no challenge too great,
no mountain too high,
no road too bumpy,
no target too unachievable,
that I cannot handle it.
I feel invincible.
Then there are some days;
When I feel like there are
too many hours in a day,
tired of being strong,
drained of energy by evil flu bugs,
exhausted from self-inflicted pressure,
wishing for a cave to hide inside
till I find my strength again.
I feel human.
And my heart whispers,
"I can do it
I'll get through it
But I'm only human
And I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human
And I crash and I break down.."
(Human by Christina Perri)
We make mistakes.
We get hurt.
We fall down.
We get discouraged.
We are afraid.
And I think that's normal, that's Life.
It's alright to feel vulnerable sometimes.
It's alright to feel like we don't have it ALL together all the time.
It's alright to feel.
This Christmas Season makes the thought all the more poignant,
as on this symbolic day,
Christians are commemorating the birth of Christ - as a little human.
Just. like. us.
While we celebrate this Day with loved ones and gift exchanges,
the encouragement I glean comes not from the Gospel books,
but from one of my favorite verses in Hebrews (4:15-16).
Tired? Frustrated? Sad? Lonely? Disappointed?
He knows.
And more importantly, He understands.
And with my head up,
I find the courage to face another day, as
just a little human.
**Wishing all my dear friends a beautiful Christmas and Happy New Year!**
