Hey Y'all! Welcome to my corner. This one is personal.

Do you ever wanna just stop the ride? You know, like when the television re-plays something in slow motion? My days have been that way recently. Unfortunately, it seems to always be after whatever it was has already happened.

We have all heard or even said," Hindsight is 20/20." I have an idea why it is phrased exactly that way. When I really look behind me then I eventually see what is before me. I complain about things being "not worth my time." There are days that I feel defeated. There is always so much to do at the end of the day. Laundry, dishes, laundry etc, etc.

This world that we have to operate in is a very demanding place. It screams at you to achieve this and to achieve that. I've forgotten some very important things. It is not "my time." We are to be vessels for Him and for His will and purpose.

One year at track and field Special Olympics, I saw a race that I will never forget. The kids lined up. There were five of them. One child was a lot smaller than the others. The whistle blew. They all ran their hardest. The smallest was in last place. The other four were close to the finish line.

Then it happened. The smallest stumbled and fell to his knees. Immediately, the others turned around and ran back to him. They helped him up and they all exchanged high fives. Arm in arm, all five ran to the finish line.

I have been too busy looking back lately. I have stumbled on my own petty complaints and selfishness. I wanna run the race for God-HARD. I want to run with humility and thankfulness in my heart. I only want to receive His mercy at the end.

You see, me referring to "my time" only reflects selfishness on my thinking. Who are WE, ANYWAY? Who am I, ANYWAY? I was a sinner. It was because of God's grace and love that He chose to adopt me into His kingdom.

I don't know if this column helped you at all today. I'll be honest . It was a hard one for me to write. It reveals my heart lately. I read in my Bible this morning about that day on the cross just as I have read many times before. But what stuck with me more than anything was the love He has for us and the grace that is available. Thank God for giving us hindsight so we can ask for grace to learn from it.

I love you guys. Have a blessed week.
