Memento Mori. Such an awesome phrase. Roman servants would come up to victorious, proud generals and whisper it in their ears. What does it mean? Remember your mortality.
It’s almost been a week since training camp ended, and already a lot has happened. I know when I’m at home here, I can’t fit back into the same schedule I was. I’m still waking up at 7 and still exercising (shocker, right?), I’m shivering because it’s, at tops, 80-85 degrees here, and I can’t eat much more than a small bowl of food.
But there is still one thing that hasn’t changed, and that’s the amount of stress trying to pile up on me. I know it’s been struggle with coming back to work full-time, trying to reach out for support for the trip, family life, and not to mention a couple of incidences in my life that tried to throw me off balance. And then, this morning, I was listening to a song called “Again” by Flyleaf. It talked a how the only thing that will help us is to surrender to Christ, and to mention the word “again” is that we fail repeatedly repeatedly. There are moments like this I forget that I’m only human. I forget that the only way to live is to give ourselves to God and the we fail time and time again. But He’s there to pick us up, and He loves us dearly. I may have these struggles in my life, and I might fall down, but if I give it all to God, He’s there to pick me up with open arms like a child. And that is worth everything 🙂
“Here you are, down on your knees again
Trying to find air to breathe again
And only surrender will help you now
I love you, please see and believe again” – Flyleaf
