Sunday Share: 3/4/12

We all need a good kick in the pants every once in a while to get motivated. Well, today has been one of those days where I tell myself, "Ok, get off the couch at noon and get on the treadmill." Well, more than 5 hours later, here I am...

...Still on the couch.

I'd figure I could find some motivation and productivity in writing my Sunday Share for the week.

And quite a week it has been. It's amazing how many ups and downs can exist in a person's life in a week's time. Throw a deployment in the mix, and a life can reach new highs and lows that most cannot imagine.

I don't plan to go in every detail of the goods and bads of the week, but I wanted to share some morsels (morsels.. I love that word!) of wisdom that I found and deemed worthy enough of sharing.

The inspirational blog entry can be found on Meant to be Happy, which was named the "Winner of the Best Personal Development Blog" of 2011.

The appropriate entry title, "Faith Moves Mountains. Doubt Creates Them," was like a slap in the face. Doubt and worry filled my thoughts this week.

But Faith eased them.

I've had a wave of support come in from all walks of life this week, and every person had Faith that Drew would make it home safe and sound at the end of his deployment.  

So, while I accept and admit that Doubt will try to enter my thoughts regularly, I know that Faith will show Her face and save me from any lasting, negative consequences.

And if I weren't motivated enough by this discovery, that damn Martin Luther King Jr. had to leave me with this:

Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.

I think he's trying to hint at something with his "steps" and "staircases."

Ok, MLK... you win.

Off to the treadmill I go....
