Get on the band wagon for once

Well if you have watched TV, read the paper or been on social media the name Tim Tebow is well known by now. I have been and will always be a Steelers fan, I will stand behind that team. But that doesn't mean that I can't respect another player. Since the Bronco's beat the Steelers I've had this sense of not wanting to hear anymore about "Tim Tebow and the Bronco's". Then I checked myself....why was it that I was so tired of hearing that name....I realized that it was because he wasn't afraid to show who he really was, on and off the field. So I did some research on him and found out that he wasn't the person who I "thought" he was.

I read an article about how Tim will invite people who are battling life threatening illnesses with no cure in sight. He brings them to the game, talks with them and the whole thing, the whole day, the moments are about these people. He spends his time before the game and after with them. Win or lose, Highs or lows....it doesn't matter. He separates himself from what the "game" is all about and he focuses for that time on them. It's about the relationship and if there has ever been any time in my life that I've realized that it's the relationships that we form with people that matter, it's now. It's not about the game, it's about the people watching the game. It's not about the recognition, it's about what those people need. I was inspired and I was humbled to read these things because I fall so short on actually making a difference in the peoples lives that I come in contact with.

Tim Tebow has it going on, he get's it. He's about the bigger picture, he's about Christ and living for him. No matter what, no matter what other say, do or treat him, he doesn't back down, he doesn't change, it's his relationship with Christ and he lets nothing come between that. It's the greater good. Well played Tim Tebow......

Hello Lady

Your Beautiful....it was the song that's gone over and over in my mind for the last 4 days. It's by Mercy Me-which is a good group....good, great actually.

But what a week this has been. I can't begin to explain it. I've heard hard news to handle by people that I care and respect. I've had to deal with some hard truths of myself this week. I've had to stand by and watch dear friends that I care so much deal with such dark moments. It's been tough, and I find myself standing in front of the mirror not realizing who I'm looking at. I am showing the weight of others through myself and it's heavy. We are called to love, to care, to stand beside, so hold each other up but what happens when it's just so much that you wonder how you can be strong one more minute for anyone around you.....it's time to step back and pray.

There is a line in the song that I just feel is so true with me, "If they truly saw your heart they'd see to much." What a powerful statement in for my life. I love my heart....sometimes it's just tired, like this week. I will continue to be a support, someone to call, someone to rely on because we know in this life that there are a lot of people out there that could care less....I refuse to care less.

One more decision

One of the songs in my life that I love to listen to when I feel like there is nothing else I can do is Blessings by Laura Story. One of the lines is "what if your blessings come through rain drops, what if healing comes through tears...what is these are blessings in disguise." It's so true when you think about it. These trials that so many go through could be blessings on the other side. It's so hard to watch dear friends go through trials, challenges and valleys...sometimes it's so hard to sit back and realize there isn't much you can do, but I do know that I can pray....that's what I can do, pray.......
