SteppingStones

We all have a journey to travel in this life. On this journey you will face challenges, which either become stepping-stones or stumbling blocks.

Your perception of challenges will determine how you travel this journey.

Challenges can become stepping-stones, which you will take advantage of to give you leverage

and propel you to another level. 

As you get to the next level you will experience a sense ofaccomplishment because youdid not allow the obstacle toset you back, or relinquish

your right to fulfillment.

As you accept the challenges that come yourway, your life

will be redefineby your successand happiness. 

When you accomplish anything, the sense of

well-being is amazing. It promotes a confidence that you can do it again.

Stepping Stones will needa reaction from you. 

Today you may be facing asituation that you think you cannot cope with. Stumblingblocks are created to make

you fall and not get up. 

Stumbling blocks are obstacles thatcreate pressure in the mind to keepyou completely off focus. When you

are off focus, your mind will play games on you.

Stumbling blocks should activate your creative juices and your faithto believe you can cross any boundary, climb any mountain, swim

through any river, until you know you feel satisfied that your challenges were meant as stepping-stones, one stone at a time.

You can and you will succeed. It is all amatter of the perception you have. Youwill continue to explore new frontiersthat will not frightened you, but the courage that is within, will rise up to complete this journey of adventure.

The Lord came to me like adream one day and asked,

"Why do you sorrow?“

I answered, "Lord, my life isso full of pain, I can't face

one more tomorrow.”

The Lord sat down beside me, and gently took my hand. He said,"Let me explain to you and then

you'll understand."

Each sorrow is a stepping stone you must surmount

each day, and every steppingstone you climb is a sorrow

that's passed away.

The road of life is a mountainside, with crevicesin which to be caught, but as you struggle on

your way, I, the Rock, will lend support.

Every stepping stone you climb,makes spirit and heart growstrong. Exercising character

and faith this road seems painful and long.

The way is paved with stepping stones, to uplift

your heart and soul, thoughdifficult, they aid your way,

to a City paved with gold.

I know that you are tired, for I too havewalked this way, my sorrows did they

multiply, but I cleared the stones away.

I left my rock to lift you up, I left behind my story.

To give you strength to make your climb, to that

special place in glory.

And never fear, the Rock is here, You'll never climb alone.

Surmount life's sorrows, continue on, for they are

but stepping stones.

Will you step througheach stone or will you faint at the thought of how difficult it is? Step

over every stone, and asyou continue stepping over each stone, your

path will become lighter and lighter. 

You will see the dawn of a new day. Confidence willbe your portion. When youarrive to your destination,

you will never have any regrets of your experience.
