One of the things I got for Christmas is a little wall
plaque that says “Yes We Can.” It
was given to me because apparently I’ve been saying “I can’t” quite a bit
lately. Sometimes I say it when I
just refuse to deal with something that I feel like I shouldn’t have to deal
with anyway.
The truth is that sometimes we are all faced with circumstances that seem
unfair. Sometimes also, the truth
is that no matter how much I want to, and sometimes do say “I can’t,” the
reality is that I must.
I will leave you with two things…
One is my song, “Let It Roll.” Please listen to the lyrics. It is about holding on to faith when we are faced with
challenges. When we wrote the song, we inserted the chorus
into the middle of the verses. The
first part of each verse is the problem at hand. Then the chorus about holding on to our faith comes and the
listener has to literally “let it roll” to hear the outcome of the
problem. We are then faced with a
new challenge in verse two and must have faith and “let things roll”
again. I find it encouraging to
journey through the lyrics.
The second thing I’d like to share is a video clip from
Oprah’s Master Class. I know she
has the right attitude. I know
that what she says is true.
I do believe that we are always EXACTLY where we are supposed
to be. There are many lessons to
be learned and challenges to face.
There are obstacles to overcome and battles to be won. It’s not always fun and certainly not
always fair. Sometimes it
downright sucks. If ever there is
a time when “I can’t” though, rest assured it is temporary. Perhaps for a while I won’t, but I most definitely can and most likely will.
Thanks for the gift – and for the reminder.
:) xoxo
