Things don't often go the way I would like. As a matter of fact, things very seldom go exactly the way I like. Trish will often say that I am easy to get along with as long as you do things my way, and that is true. It never seems to fail that something is always trying to mess with my plans.
I am sure that we have all been there, we think we finally see the light at the end of the tunnel, just before we get run over by the train. I find that there is a lot of truth in the old saying, "It seems that I take one step forward and two steps back." How about you?
Today's word is a saying I heard a while ago that means a lot to me: "An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward. When life is dragging you back with difficulties, you're about to be launched into something."
Now, I am no archer but I have seen it done. I don't think you can throw an arrow very far at all. I would be surprised if you could throw it more than a few yards. However, if you place that arrow in a bow, pull the string back, and let it fly, it will travel - FAR. And, if you allow someone other than me to do the shooting, it will hit the target.
What we need to realize is that, sometimes, when we are being pulled back, it is because we are about to be launched into something else, something better. We would never get there without first being drawn back. And, in the hands of the Master Archer, you can rest assured that you will hit the target!
Be Blessed,
