Take the Hill!

What's at the top of your hill?  Sometimes you are so blessed that life is like a flatroad.  Things are going along pretty smoothly, you're not expending a lot of energy, life is good!  But for most of us, life is more like rolling hills.  Sometimes flat road, sometimes hills.  Mostly rolling hills, sometimes steady inclines.  I remember when we were doing races we signed up for the Austin Half Marathon.  We'd heard it was hilly in Austin so we trained on the back paths at White Rock, a few hills back there.  But nothing prepared us for Austin!  It was hill after hill after hill.  We got to Mile 11 and thought Thank God! We should be able to coast in to 13 now.  But NO!  We got to Mile 11 and it was a straight up MOUNTAIN!  No steady incline, no rolling hill, this B#*$*% was a monster!  We stopped and wondered.....how do we get up there?!?!    Well, I'll tell you how....by pumping your arms, keeping your eyes on the top and TAKING THE DAMN HILL!   Such is life.  We do okay with the rolling hills and the steady inclines, but sometimes you get hit with that monster hill.  Don't you dare stop!  Keep your eyes on Him. Take the damn hill!

Happy Sunday Saints!
